Hum... well maybe I should put it the Elite3d-m6 and see how 
it runs ;)


But I am not 100% sure it's a Expert3d-lite. I did fdconfig -
propt and -prconf and is says something like "afb lite" or so. 
But I saw that the lite version should have Vga connector 
while mine has 13W3 connector. But it lacks the bnc connector 
that should be present into the Elite3d (not lite). So I am 
still wondering if a ways to get the complete string exists. I 
know that opening the box should be the definitive way, but I 
am not at the box right now... :(

well I thought my m6 should perform better into the Blade1K. I 
will try both.
