[comp.sys.amiga] Opinions needed on Lucus Board

Hi there
I am looking into purchasing a lucas board and I would like some valuable
input please.  I have an Amy500 wih normal memory.  i don't plan on adding
the 32bit stuff yet.  Here are a few questions for guidelines:
What advantages / Disadvantages do you see or know of?
What software do you know of that does not work with it?
How easy is it to assemble?  How many degrees do you need to do it?
What does it change in respect to performance and by how much?
What does it make the Amy comparable to in the Mac/IBM world?
Is it in your opinion useful and a good idea?
What are some circumstances in which it is very desirable?
Any other thing you wish to add will be greatly appreciated!
Mail it to MCARTSHA@UREGINA1 if you can please (or at least send a copy to here
 if you want to put it on th net too).  Thanks in advance!

You've got a big problem with the LUCAS baord right off. It is only
available for the A1000. The form factor is all wrong though I do know
some people who I personally admire who have the LUCAS board in the
500 and simply remoted the keyboard and said to heck with the case
