Recently, I have seen the lucas board(?) mentioned on this group. I understand that it is way to install a 68020 CPU into the amiga 1000. Could someone please provide me more information regarding this product, including price, installation, and reliability? Thank you.

Thank you. I have one. It works pretty well for me, but required a fair amount of massaging by a hardware knowledgable friend of mine. Mostly the installation of documented upgrades and improvements to the hardware. I bought mine 2nd hand partially completed, and we also a couple of evening reworking some of the previous work. This is not a project for the faint hearted, but it can yield excellent results. I also have the Frances 4Mbyte 32-bit RAM expansion. It also works quite well for me. I do not have any other preipherals connected to my system (well, a printer). I am currently attempting to get a wedge/OMTI combination working, but the wedge driver seems to be 68020 incompatible. Here is some info provided on disk with the LUCAS board regarding pricing and ordering: ---------------------------- Begin File -------------------------------- If you've decided that you would like to build yourself Lucas Board then here's where and how much. L U C A S Bare PCB ............ $40.00 4 Pal set ........... $30.00 Mailing ............. $ 5.00 ------ Total ............... $75.00 If both the PCB and the Pals are ordered then I'll send along a disk with mostly the information in this arc file but it will be updated with any new information. If your interested in the FRANCES 32-bit memory board then this is what it will set you back. F R A N C E S Bare PCB ............ $60.00 2 Pal set ........... $10.00 Mailing ............. $ 5.00 ------ Total ............... $75.00 (Disk & Docs included) Price for both LUCAS & FRANCES ..... $150.00 Send a cheque or money order made out to Brad Fowles to: Brad Fowles, RR#5, Caledon East, Ontario, Canada.

There are two articles in Amiga Transactor covering the LUCAS board the first is December 1988 and the other is August 1989. The first one covers the LUCAS board itself and the second covers the a 32bit 4 meg memory board. The gentleman that designed the board can be reached at anakin@gpu.utcs.toronto.edu (Brad Fowles) There are also files that can be FTPed that describe the board. jones@plains.nodak.edu
