the lucas board is very interesting but noisy electrically. add that to the electrial noise of the 1000 and you get instability many times. a loooooong time ago i tried cleaning up the design. it stated turning into my own accelerator design. then my a1000 died. not long after that i got a 1200
ive though of getting a 500 to goof around with since then, but now i have the 3000
