Believe it! Look in comp.sources.amiga
Believe it! Some people found some surplus 020-881 for $100.00, the total
cost to populate the Lucas board with this price for the 020-881's was
$270.00. I believe this meets your criteria.
Correct! It is possible. ..... Why Not?

I've got a feeling that I'm in trouble over this one.
