One of our German customers has IDRIS OS (our product) running on this 68020
board.  As he tells me, that you also need the new/patched TOS ROMS which the
manufacturer also supplies.

He sent us the schematics for this board and our hardware engineer says it
is pretty straight forward.  They also sell a memory card for this 020 card.

NOTE :	the fact that our customer has IDRIS running on the 020 card, does not
	mean that we officially support it.  We would officially support this
	card after testing it (we do not have one yet).

Sincerely
