I have been toying with the idea for a while and think now is the time.  I've
been attempting to debug a board for quite a few months that is having exactly
the same problems that Henry's LUCAS board exhibits: Standard A1000 works fine,
but periphials are no go.  I know of two boards in this area that are having
the same problems...

I'd like to gather as much information from the users of LUCAS 68020 boards out
in net.land and compile it into a report for net distribution.  If you own a
LUCAS board (or have a friend who owns one but has no uucp access) and feel
inspired, please fill out the enclosed survey and E-mail it back to me.  In
about a month, I'll collate and publish the results...

I hope this will be help to new purchasers of the LUCAS board and possibly
helps those of us who are having some sort of problem with the board.
