Have all the problems with geting LUCAS to work with Microbotics Starboard
been fixed? I would like to build/buy one, but I have a Starboard with
2 Meg and a SCSI module installed. If they have been, who should be contacted
for the latest plans & parts ?
Also, is this a resonable progect for a novice? I have never built anything
with lsi chips on it, though I am fairly good with a soldering iron. Assuming
I have nothing else but a soldering iron, and only a rudimentry knowledge of
electronics, what would I have to read+learn+buy to put a LUCAS board together
and get it to run with my Amiga+Starboard ?

Thanks in advance,
