 On a row that isn't used, is it better to blow all but two of
 the fuses or not blow any? 
 It sounds like you're not using PALASM, but I'd
recommend looking at
 what PALASM does, and then doing the same thing. 
I thought for the original MMI PAL's you just blew a fuse,
where you needed a link made. One could just mark out from the
PAL pin out the fuses needed to be blown, with out having to
use software and convert that to a 512x8 ROM mapping.
   Which is
better from a power point of view? 
 I don't think there's any difference
(for an actual bipolar PAL), but I
 suppose I wouldn't bet money on it without giving it a try.
