Hi Bill.

No problem. Will keep you posted. I hope to have time to offer a 250
to 500 upgrade at some point. Its very simple, all thats required is
the changing of the FPGA. If we can source the device nice and cheap
(ie - off ebay or left overs from china production lines) then we
should be able to make that a very cheap upgrade.
