Greg–I have a LUCAS/FRANCES board that I've been trying to get running. I recently installed the 1.3 ROM upgrade published in amazing computing (which involves removing the daughterboard and installing a ROM socket. I cheated by using back to back sockets and not removing the daughterboaRD connector pins, so the mod is reverible and I can add Rejuvenator at a future time. Antyway the new PAL chips are faster than the old setup. I have gotten LUCAS/FRANCES working fairly well at 12 MHz, but am having compatibility problems with LUCAS/FRANCES and my XETEC HD and Ramboard. I suspect the faster PALs are altering the syste timing just enough to throw off the HD and ramboard. They sometimes work at 12 M but the system won't boot at faster clock speeds. Anyway I mention this to you in case it helps with your debugging of rejuvenator and because you mentioned to me at AmiExpo that a new capacitor might be needed to improve LUCAS/ HD compatibility with rejuvenator. I assume we'd be talking about a cap to delay AS slightly. Anything further on that? Good luck.
