  First to clear up alittle misinformation.
  -The estimated cost of the project is $500.00(not $600.00) for the
board and chip kit.
  -Greg Tibbs is NOT the president of the O.V.A.U.G, but is an officer
of a Dayton area user's group.
 
   Just had lunch with Greg Tibbs Sat. after our AmiCON meeting and had
a lengthy discussion about the project and look at the board.  The board
is well designed and well grounded with no jumpers on the board.  It is
all sockets and very little soldering(if any) is necessary. The
rejuvenator is connected to  the motherboard with some of the existing
connections and with custom connectors from the Custom Chip sockets on
the motherboard(all the custom chips are moved up to the rejuvenator
board).  The project should be fairly easy to install for anyone who has
had their Amiga opened.  It will be a snap tougether project, pulling
and inserting chips pushing the connectors into the motherboard.  Their
may be some jumpers to connect to the motherboard(at most 3) to select
your configuration.  NO modifications need be done to the mother board
except perhaps the connection of the jumpers.
    Benefits:
     +1 Meg of CHIP ram.
     +Total memory expanded by up to 1meg.(less if you choose to keep
kickstart on disk).(total for 512 Ami now 1.5 with KS rom use)
     +Space for standard a2000/500 KS rom on board(use optional)
       Kickstart source(disk or rom) may be selected by switch(small
modification to Rejuvenator board necessary).
     +Standard A2000/500 battery backed clock
     +Connector for A2000 Flicker Fixer card
     +Sockets Dennese and Paula on board
     +Socket for fatter Agnus on board
 
  The Project is well thought out, allowing for the use of the entire
expected 1.4 upgrade including the productivity mode with the use of the
new Dennese and a Flicker Fixer card with multi-sync monitor.
  Three prototypes have been built and are working. Their seems to be a
small problem with the kickstart rom but Greg expects to get it worked
out as soon as he gets some more Pal chips.
 
  No ordering information is available at this time but should be
comming
across soon.
