[comp.sys.amiga.hardware] Lucas

Help!

I'm looking for specs or files for the Lucas & Francis accelerator boards.
I believe that the Lucas board was detailed on one of the AMigan or Amicus
disks. (About #21 i think).

PS. If everybody who complained over the net about one of my postings taking
up bandwidth had kept their mouth shut, it would have saved a lot more 
than my message not being there!

Has anyone out there come up with a GOOD fix for the Lucas timing problems?  I 
have one built that works fine with my 512K base machine, but refuses to 
recognize my 4 Meg TechniSoft RAM expansion (remember those?) or my FlashCard 
hard disk controller (the biggest piece of junk currently marketed for the 
Amiga!!!).

I believe that the trailing edge of *AS and *DS is the problem; seems LUCAS 
merges the timing chains for the 020 and the A1000 too soon.  Has anyone fixed 
this (other than by doing things such as attaching a pot to the *AS line and 
tweaking the impedance)
