[comp.sys.amiga] A1000 questions, Zorro 2 SCSI controller wanted

I've been out of the Amiga picture for a while now, but I recently dusted off
my 1000.  Now I want to get caught up on the Amiga track as quickly as
possible.  I'd appreciate it if I could get some answers to the following
questions.  Please excuse any stupidity on my part -- it's been a while.
 
1.  I'm looking for a SCSI controller board for my Zorro II card cage (Escort
    2 by Expansion Technologies).  I would be interested in buying a used
    board, if it is still supported.  I assume there is no way to autoboot on
    a 1000;  is this correct?
 
2.  I have Lattice C 4.0 (and several previous versions), but I've never
    received an upgrade notice for 5.x.  I'd like to upgrade -- does anyone
    know the cost?  Also, can I get a discount on C++?  Is it a compiler or
    preprocessor?
    Personal to John Toebes, ex-classmate:  How you doing, John?  Long time
    no hear from... :)
 
3.  What is the recommended way (cost-wise, compatibility-wise) for me to
    upgrade to a 68020/30?  I currently have a 68010.
 
4.  I know the following doesn't really pertain to my 1000, but I'm curious.
    What can I expect from C= concerning new hires losta colors non-interlaced
    video modes?  When?  When is WB 1.4 due?
 
Sorry to ask so much, but it's been a long time.  It's good to be back.
