	Have you tried the PAL-grounding trick?  The Starboard is pretty
low-load, but with the extra load of the Lucas, and the high-noise on the
signal lines, things may get too low/noisy.  Your needing an "F" part instead
of an "ls" part may also be a symptom of this.

Grounding the pals should reduce the noise, and may make the starboard work.
See any number of magazine articles on grounding pals.
