I have pretty much decided that I am going to build a LUCAS/FRANCES
super duper turbo 68020 board. I have some questions regarding the
rejuvenator ....
1. Will the Rejuvenator work with the LUCAS/FRANCES board combo?
2. The LUCAS/FRANCEs and rejuvenator all fit inside the AMIGA 1000. Is
there going to be any space conflicts? (That's an awful
lot of power to pack into that little ol' space ?B-)
Anybody who knows anything about this want to comment?
Inquiring minds want to know!!!
Thanks in advance...
-Tom
p.s. I think the REJUVENATOR should be called LAZARUS. Seems to better fit
the incredible nature of the ECS upgrade board. :-)

To quote from his recent conference on Compuserve: The only thing I know for sure that conflicts is LUCAS' Frances RAM board. It will fit, with some height adjustment in LUCAS/Frances, but Frances will occupy the same space as the video slot card. Since the LUCAS/FRANCES is a hardware hackers project anyway, It isn't unreasonable to predict that a lot of FRANCES boards will end up with some sort of height adjustment, or that another version with different physical characteristics will surface, either from Brad or someone else. -larry -- begin 777 .signature M268@>6]U(&1O;B=T('-E92!T:&ES('-E;G1E;F-E+"!Y;W4@<VAO=6QD('-EB 2;&P@>6]U<B!C;VUP=71E<BX*. `` end +-----------------------------------------------------------------------+ | // Larry Phillips | | \X/ lphillips@lpami.wimsey.bc.ca -or- uunet!van-bc!lpami!lphillips | | COMPUSERVE: 76703,4322 -or- 76703.4322@compuserve.com | +-----------------------------------------------------------------------+

With an extra 64 pin socket to raise one board just a tad, the slight overlap should be managable That's all I know. For details, ask Brad (anakin@utgpu). -- Hugh D.

LUCAS/FRANCES Project with the Rejuvenator board When Greg Tibbs first announced the Rejuvenator project I got it touch with him to see if the two would be compatible. I sent him a bare Frances board, (he had a LUCAS board) so he could check the form factor. He thinks that with a slight height adjustment, probably just adding a machine socket to the 68000 socket, everything should be O.K. Soon as Greg's project is available I will certainly be putting one into my machine. Since the LUCAS/FRANCES project is a hacker's project, we'll hack it in there somehow.
