	If your LUCAS board is not functioning at all, ie. it won't even
flash the front LED then chances are there is a short or open on the board
somewhere. I've had this problem reported several times and it has yet
to be a bad part, in all cases but one it was a solder short which caused
the problem. In the other case it was an open via. Fill all the vias with
solder and that will solve that possibility. A few hours spent with an
ohmmeter checking for shorts can do a world of good. If you check the board
thoroughly and are still having no luck E-mail me and we'll take it from there.
	Even a simple logic probe can tell you alot, there are instructions
on the disk which came with LUCAS on checking signals, but I'll bet dollars
to donuts its a short or open.
		Good Luck ..... keep me informed ..... Brad
