[comp.sys.amiga.hardware] Lucas/Frances

Excuse my ignorance, but could someone please tell me what a
Lucas/Frances board is?  I have heard many rumors about it and picked up
odd tidbits here and there but what in fact is it?  Will it work with my
A2000? 
 
Thanx in advance.

Hi,

I am having a problem with my lucas/frances board combination.
Both boards are fully populated, 68020, 68881, 4 Meg 100ns ram.
My machine seems to work fairly well with just the lucas/frances
installed.  It is more flakey than a plane 1000.  When I add my
Supra Drive and or Megaboard 2, the machine boots, but I can hardly
ever get past/thru Supramount, and if so, it doesn't last long.

Does anyone have a solution?  I can run the board either at 16MHz
or 20MHz and I get the same problems.  I need my Harddisk, so my
Lucas sits idle.  If need be I can get a new hard drive, or I may
just have to sell the Lucas/Frances.  (How much are they worth?)

Thanks for any help.
David
