I'm not familiar with the Frances board (?). I recall the LUCAS project from the early A1k days… let's see…Low priced, UltraCheap Accelerator System, right? What speed, what type chips, what cost? and most importantly (I remember the hassles folks went through) how stable is it? Do I need the special PALS or do they come included…as you can see, AM interested, but need some facts, first. And thanks for the quick reply!
