Also when you say it's a horrible machine to develop on do you mean in terms of space available or something else? I was just curious as I have never owned one until a couple of weeks ago, and I liked the size.

Ah yes I knew that, as I have zero knowledge or experience of developing hardware or electronics I had no idea about that.

I am very disappointed but I understand your reasons, not to worry I guess I will just have to do without as I am not overly keen on the Furia Accelerator, and the ACA630 ones aren't available, and hard to find 2nd hand should I of wanted one of those.
