If it's detecting 512K but then saying that it's bad suggests a data line issue rather than an address line, which is what's on EXP2. Well, it could be the SRAM chip being faulty as well I s'pose.
I had a different design of RAM board.
P.S. Do I see a dry joint one one of the header pins on your board?

Re: Another Egyptian Enterprise 64
Intro retro computers since before they were retro...
ZX81->Spectrum->Memotech MTX->Sinclair QL->520STM->BBC Micro->TT030->PCs & Sun Workstations.
Added code to the MiNT kernel (still there the last time I checked) + put together MiNTOS.
Collection now with added Macs, Amigas, Suns and Acorns.

@rubber_jonnie yes that's the rom chip I meant. Do check that I put the ram chip in the socket correctly
and not impossible the ram chip is bad. It's new old stock from China so never know.
If it ain't broke, test it to Destruction.

The RAM was correctly inserted BTW, will see if I can find a similar RAM ic, do a cross check.
