Just a little update.
I did manage to get card 2 to detect ram after changing out the junk bus switches from Aliexpress.
That was after I first swapped the ram twice, and changed the CPLD with the C version but I got there in the end.

Re: TF536 help getting cards to work
And the lesson is, children, never buy chips from AliExpress if you can at all help it, and assume that they're probably bad anyway.
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.

Certainly learned that lesson, it can be expensive to be cheap.

I have said this to people over and over but it never seems to sink in.
