FRANCES/LUCAS is what the designer, Brad Fowles, calls "public domain
hardware." The actual designs are PD, as I understand it. He'll sell you the
traced and drilled boards with the specific chips they need (you need to buy
the generic ones, like t
he 68020/68881 and RAM chips), for $75 each. They
*WON'T* work in a 2000 (I don't think), and, while they'll work in a 500,
they won't physically fit. They were designed for us poor old b*st*rds who
STILL have a 1000 with a lousy 512K of chip RAM. They WILL work with
Greg Tibbett's (I think that's his name) Rejuvenator board, but things
will get a little...tight within the 1000's case. Fowles even sells a new,
larger RFI shield so as to fit everything in. It's really a nice design that
Fowles uses (he designed the Easyl drawing pad), and it can be assembled so
as to allow switching between the 68000 and the 68020 at bootup (for those games
