     For this price you get (assuming you already have an Amiga 1000):

        1 MEG Chip RAM
	1/2 MEG true FAST RAM
	1.3 Kickstart in ROM
	Internal Clock
	EHB (Halfbrite)

    and you get to keep your current peripherals, your current power
supply (much more reliable than that of the A500) and a detachable
keyboard.  Sounds good to me, especially when the extra 1 MEG of RAM
alone currently costs at least half that.

>Long live the LUCAS project!

     Agreed, I think LUCAS is wonderful, but the only relation with
this is that it makes the LUCAS board worth doing.  As far as I
know, both upgrades will be compatible, but they do different things.
