        I would like to thank George for taking this chore on, it
has been wonderful to see the way the Amiga community has responded
to LUCAS and its problems. There are people in User Groups in B.C.,
Detroit, and now California who are willing to help those who are
having problems. Those of us who still have 1000's, atleast till GVP
blows us away, will have the fastest Amigas (20 meg) on the block. It
is this type of message which gets me through the long hours of work
on the 32-bit memory board which will also be cheap and public domain.
 
                                Thanks George
