  Ok, Question:
    Since Mr. Lavin is a busy man, I'll post this question here instead of
    bothering him.  I understand the handshake protocol for the MC68000
    (sync & async bus arbitration, bus-mastering, etc), but I've not
    mastered the Amiga AutoConfig protocol (particularly for the 1000).
    Does this serial/parallel project describe how one does AutoConfig?
    Even if it does not (not a terribly *big* concern), I am very much
    interested in this and other interfacing projects for the Amiga.
    Is this project down on (electronic) paper somewhere and how can I
    get a hold of it?  I have a project for interfacing special math
    hardware (custom design/build) and any info on Amiga specific
    interfacing would be useful.  I'd also love to add more serial/parallel
    ports to the machine (one of each is simply not enough).
    Hardware Hackers Unite!
    Thanks in advance for any response.
Pete.
