[comp.sys.amiga] I need some info

Hi,

I havn't read any news since 3/89, so I am a little bit out of touch.
About the student purchase plan, what and how can I participate?
I am also interested in the trade up program.  I would need to sell
at least one of my 1000's to purchase through the student deal, and
I will have hardware left over to sell if I trade up.

My systems include:
2 1000's, 1 external 3.5" and 1 external 5.25" floppy drive.
1 megaboard 2. (2 meg expansion ram)
1 supradrive 20 meg.
1 lucas board 16MHz '020 many clock xtals
1 frances board 4 meg 100ns ram
1 1080 monitor (the original one - no #)
1 NEC multisync
1 perfect sound

Which of these parts can I still use in a 2000 or 2500/30?  The monitors
need new cables, no?
Also, I could use some help w/ my lucas/frances combo.  They seem to work
when I don't push my system, but they don't allow me to copy kickstart
to 32 bit wide ram, and the whole system is flakey when I connect either
the supra or the megaboard to a the system with the lucas/frances.

Any help?

Oh, on the '040.  HP is releasing a new system with a piggy back '030/'882
that plugs into an '040 socket.  Nice idea!  (I think it's HP)
