Was googling around for any updates on this project. Looks like its up on github

I'm sure I've seen a few completed builds on Twitter.
I bought an Amiga and a C64 board from https://www.tindie.com/stores/bobsbits/items/ , my current plan is to frame them nicely for my office.

Is this using a standard PCMCIA slot for the memory card? Issue I always had when trying to repair damaged systems was that the pin orientation and pitch of the PCMCIA card slot was impossible to find.

Will's Console Mods said they would be selling the repro AES mobos soon. They already have various other repro PCBs in stock (i.e. everything Cosam reproduced).

For now you need to reuse OG chips:
I think some of those chips have modern replacements: https://www.tindie.com/stores/furrtek/

Yes 3 of them from the BOM (NEO-D0, NEO-E0 and NEO-G0). That's great for repairs but until a complete set is available you'll still have to sacrifice OG hardware.
I haven't cross-referenced the chips but I know for sure the LSPC2 can be found on cheap MVS motherboard. Maybe someone could look into it and find the best/most economical solution for the whole build. (That someone could be me if I had enough free time).

You are better off getting parts board as you will want more then just the custom chips. I think MV1F/MV1FS/MV1FT are likely the best ones to get. They pretty much have everything other then NEO-G0 for custom chips, plus you get correct package for 68k, CR401s, the weird volume slider, joystick ports, etc.
Not sure how easy that would be... that would be effectively an MVS in AES format. It is not only the different slot, but some of the graphics hardware that is on an AES cart is on the MVS motherboard. (IIRC, that is... some of the C-ROM output serialisation?)
PRO-CT0 and NEO-ZMC2.

So basically I suppose you'd have to find space to integrate a ZMC2 into the design, like a converter does.

you forgot the backup RAM
Already mentioned in my previous post. We're building an AES with an MVS slot here after all. We could omit the backup ram and live with Unibios memory card saves instead.you forgot the backup RAM
Including the ZMC2 would be a big ask, I admit. I believe the only schematic currently online is from the earliest model, and has mistakes. It wouldn't be easy.
I was able to get one of these mostly built. Its missing the power switch (dont have one and is hardwired for now) and memory card slot (will do later).
It plays games ok and has sound, but something is off with the colors. I need to audit all the resister in the top left to make sure I didn't bork something. You can see the issue with the diag cart's video dac test.
Assembled AES:
Original AES:
Looks like red bit2 and blue bit2 and bit3 are missing.
