Help!  I canna get m' Lucas board t' work with m' Starboard!

The two work fine independantly of each other, but don't like each other at
all.  I have tried all types of chips for U9, but no success.  By the way,
none of the 74XX74 chips in the instructions worked.  Instead, only a
74F74 worked, and not all of those either, but only of one manufacturer.

I have grounded my pals an the lucas board.  I cleaned the bus connector, and
even tried putting filter caps across pins 10 and 11 of the 74ACT244 in the
Starboard, as suggested by a fried and Ronin Engineering (hurricane board).

Alas, no luck.  Even replacing the 74ACT244 with a LS part did nothing, and
I can't find an F version of the chip (as suggested by beforementioned
friend)

Has anybody out there gotten this combination to work together correctly?
Microbotics was no help.  They said it was the lucas board's fault and it
could not be done (gee, thanks).

HHHHEEEEELLLLPPP!!!
