- The USENET (comp.sources.amiga) distribution of the LUCAS project is
- different than what you'd find on BIX, or get from the author. The
- Mandelbrot programs & sources, benchmark programs and the utilities
- (SetCPU and DeciGel) were omitted, since they are available elsewhere
- and because many people will be grabbing these files only to determine
- if they want to build the board.
-
- The Commodore utilities (More and IconX) have likewise been removed,
- as well as the copyright notice they required.
-
- In addition, all the ".info" and ".fastdir" files have been removed
- from this distribution, and most of the files have been renamed. All
- the documentation has been reformatted to fit in 80 columns.
-
- NO INFORMATION WAS CHANGED OR OMITTED.
-
- Brad's comments appear below.

- Here's a brief discription of what you'll find here.
-
- Transactor_Article is the article I wrote for Transactor. Please
- excuse any anacronisms which result from Transactor's current
- difficulties.
-
- The file Building is for those who are actually building the Lucas
- board. If you're just considering building one, a look through this
- file will let you know what you're getting into and what you can
- expect to get out of it.
-
- The #?.draw files have the two drawings which comprise the LUCAS
- board. They were done using draw plus, and they are included here
- in case you wish to make plots or printouts of your own. You'll
- have to join the similar draw1 and draw2 files together to get a
- complete draw file (they were split for Usenet transmission).
-
- The #?_List files are the PCAD document files. The Net Lists will
- help in debugging.
-
- The #?.pld files are the four PAL equations for the pals on the LUCAS
- Board.
-
- If you've decided that you would like to build a Lucas Board here's
- where and how much.
-
- Bare PCB ............ $40.00
- 4 Pal set ........... $30.00
- Mailing ............. $ 5.00
- ------
- Total ............... $75.00
-
- If both the PCB and the Pals are ordered I'll send along a disk with
- the information in the original ARC file (including the stuff omitted
- from the Usenet distribution) and it will be updated with any new
- information.
-
- Send a cheque or money order made out to Brad Fowles to:
