The standard LUCAS/FRANCES setup can be hacked (instructions come with
LUCAS/FRANCES) to add an external switch that will, when flipped before a
reboot, switch the system between 68000 and 68020. The FRANCES uses ZIP
chips, I think. You can add between 0.5 and 4 meg onto the board. The FRANCES
is *NOT* autoconfiguring, but it uses an EXTREMELY clever method of getting
around that limitation. Look up Vol 2 No. something in the late, lamented
AMIGA TRANSACTOR for the gory details.
        The Rejuvenator is a completely different beast. It turns a stock
A1000 into a 1.5 meg machine, with 1 meg CHIP and 512K FAST RAM. It adds
a clock/calendar and sockets for Kickstart ROMs, and a subset of the A2000
video slot. It'll work with FlickerFixer, but NOT with the Toaster. (If you
can afford a Toaster, you can afford a 2000 ;-) )
        That answer your question? I have neither accelerated my A1000 nor
have I Rejuvenated it--YET.
