The CPLD (EPM7128SLC84) is hard to find in Europe for a reasonable price.
I think that's why I never used it.
Can get one for around 30 EUR but EOL product as well.
As in the last time I got about 50% fake chips from China I am more careful now what I buy.
I prefer reliable sources. It's depending on the chip type.
The DS1302 I bought last time were not working or even crashing my system (different suppliers show different behavior).

I agree, there are many sellers from China that sell fake chips, so far I have not got that experience yet.
By the way I have ask this seller to offer a IC kit, maybe I will try to order.
