Ok, here is a call for information -- you can email me and I'll 
summarize, or post to the net (I would prefer mail)...

Reading the August 1989 Volume 2 Issue 5 of Amiga Transactor, I saw an
article on the "FRANCES" (F ast  R am  A t  N ominal  C ost, for  
                          E xtended  S torage) memory board kit they have
available (75$ for a PCB and PAL's).

It is a 32bit ram card for "LUCAS" (L ittle  U gly  C hip  A ccelerator     
                                    S ystem) , a 68020/68881 processor
upgrade  for the Amiga 1000 (also 75$ for the PCB). What I would like to
know from the net is, :

1) Is there anyone on the net who has built a LUCAS
2) What they think of it.
3) What it cost to complete.
4) Do you intend to build a FRANCES??
5) Does the 68881 react to "standard" 68881 calls???? (I.E. will Turbo for
   the 68881 recognize it???)

Thanks for the info ...
