Re: how does Rojas do it ?

["Jim Rojas" <jrojas@xxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Several different programmers are required just to do 1 manufacturer. Some
of the programmers have to be modified to work right. Then, you must figure
out how the hex data is wriiten, and where to make your changes. It's not as
easy as you think. It took several years to develop this method.

Some Napco panels allow you to program in hex, so imagine being able to do
that without having a clue what you are changing.

So unless you are willing to spend several thousand dollars on all the
programmers, custom made adapters, and learning how to read the hex data, I
suggest you just replace the board like most others do.
