I bought a TF 536 from Amigastore and I'm still waiting for the answer from AmigaStore.

My problem is I have to reset two or more times before the CF card reboots.

If I don't use an CF adapter it still do the same problem.

The Setup is an Amiga 500 Rev.6 with 1 MB ChipMod, Gotek with Flashfloppy v3.38, AmigaStore 512 KB RAM expansion, Sandisk 4 GB Ultra, VH.2 CF ide adapter and CA-PSU.

I already tried other IDE2CF adapters and other CF kcards from Sandisk, Sandisk industrial, Transcend Industrial and the white blue CF cards.

I also tried to in a REV8A1 motherboard but, it doesn't start at all.

Is this a known problem or is my TF536 broken?
 
I don't have a TF536 at the moment bu I never had a similar issue and I used it in both, a rev 6a and a rev 8a1.

Did you find a resolve to your problem ?
 
Yes just to Add this is the typical faulty CPLD symptom, I know as I have built a few thousand TF cards :)
 
I'm finding the same problem with my TF536. It works for a short time. Now it's not bootable. If I reflash the cpld could that work?

You could try reflashing the firmware, but it could be that the CPLD has died or some other component has failed
 
Good to know the abowe. I am about to put in a TF536 in one of my A500+
I have the 2M chipram card and hope I am not getting any problems.
Will try to set it all up this weekend on a CF card to start with.
Are you with problems using Compact Flash cards or a drive/ssd?
 
I did put it in now and I only had one "glitch". One boot I did was extremely slow, took minutes to get to WB (like 5-6 or so) When checking There was no fastram at all. Just my 2M chip. So the boot went slowly but correct. Did about 20 new warmboots and it seems fine. I will experiment a little to se if that is happening again and what can be causing it.

It does not hang when using it I mannage to use WB and shell for about 4hrs doing some scripts and compiling some C code. Worked quite stable.

I use an 4G CF card at the moment with preinstalled WB and Kickstart 3.2.3
