visit the Lattice website - www.latticesemi.com - 
and download paltogal software.  This utility converts almost all SPLD jedec to
the 
equivalent GAL/PAL device, and is FREE -

good luck with your design -

  Yes, some companies did/do JEDEC converters.
This from the WinPLACE manual, so it looks like you can go EP320 -> 18CV8

Anybody knows if it can be simply done to convert
a jedec file read out from an ALtera EP320 and to 
program into a PALCE16V8 .
note it is for repair purposes so I haven't the design
software of the ALtera.
