I disagree with you, Chuck, on some of your points.  First, there are people
out here capable and willing to do this job.  If the board replaces the 68000
chip, it should be as simple as just relaying out the original lucas board
so that it will plug into the A2000 68000 socket. I have all the tools to do 
the layout (A1000 with 3meg, PRO-BOARD layout software, and a plotter), but
I am missing three crucial ingrediants.  

1) A lucas board to copy from, and the permission (if it is not pd) to do so.

2) The 350.00 bucks it takes here to get a small production run of double sided
   plated through holes boards, probably about 30 for this price.

3) An amiga 2000 to test it in.

4) A 68020 to plug into the board and test it with. 

If anyone is sufficiently interested in doing this, Lets work out a deal!
I could probably talk someone around here into letting me try a protype in 
there A2000. Maybe Stan could send me a 68020 to play with. And finally, I 
need a lucas board, which I probably would be willing to spend some bucks
to get just to get the oppertunity to play with a 68020. Finally, maybe 
enough of you people out there would want one of these boards, so  If enough
people were interested, after the protoype worked, we could all pitch in on 
the 350.00.            
  If anyone is wondering if I have any experience with this wort of thing, 
I have built a protoype 68000 system from scratch. It was a standalone scale
that had a high accuracy A/D and 2X40 LCD display. I have also built several
microcontoller boards for various applications using 6803 cpus.
