I don't know that much about U36 on the C128, but are you sure that
the PLA gives a CS if you try to write to that area? It might be
something like the "RAM-under-ROM"-syndrome on the C64, where you
can write to the RAM under KERNAL or BASIC while the ROM is selected.
If the CS is not generated on write, the R/W logic is not that simple 
anymore.

Just a question,
   Spiro.
