Excellent, thanks for the advice. I've been looking at the Nova-T cards 
today. With the above in mind I think I'll schedule an FC4 upgrade in 
the next couple of weeks. I already upgraded from FC2 to 3 in the middle 
of last year when FC2 went legacy so it shouldn't be a big hardship.

Is there any additional information I need to know to get the Nova-T 
going or is it just a case of the right modules ?

Cheers
