I wanted to make a video of the 536 this weekend but I couldn't even get it to complete booting... so I gave up.

Either that or send it to me (without cpu). it'll be useful to understand whats wrong with it.

assume Alen tried different cpu's already, since it's known many 33Mhz MMU ones are picky on 50Mhz :idea:

Let me try to build another one first... This board is now quite battered up with me having replaced every single thing on it, so that may well be contributing...

Didn't Mr Leary mention that on one of his YouTube streams and say he still had work to do to fix that in the CPLD (or has my RAM a.k.a. "Really Ancient Memory" finally got corrupted) ??

Is there any ETA for when the board is being finalised so we might see people assembling and selling these for people who don't have the skills or eyesight for the soldering needed?
