To be fair to Atomwide none of then should be user fitable according to Acorn,
it is just they are the only one who pay any attention.  As far as I recall all
of the above need to have one or more PLCC chip extracted and it is very easy
to break the machine while trying to do this.  According to Acorn this should
only be done by a component level service centre although there is nothing they
can do about it once the machine is out of guarantee.
