Well, put simply... the designer of the Rejuvenator OWNS/USES the Lucas/Frances
pair; or at least he did when designing.  These are of course supported and
this was stated in the Rejuvenator compatibility list from day 1.  It all
started out as a PD project "similar to the lucas project" as stated during
its early development by designer Greg Tibbs.  Even the Amazing Computing
512K hack is fully supported.

>2) (much less importantly) does it all still fit in the A1000 case?

It does all fit inside the A1000 case.  It is basically just a daughter
board replacement with additional connections that plug into one or more
custom chip sockets (eg. Denise) below.  This allows for either the old
Denise or the ECS Denise to be inserted into Rejuvenator (and work 100%).

I will be buying the board myself as soon as I can justify the need (like
when 2.0 is officially released) for the extra CHIP and graphics modes.  Or
as soon as I have the extra $$$.
