| Yes. I shipped him 500 firmware chips. You can imagine what 489 panel=20

| | Exactly my point. I have 9 different programmers I use. They vary in =
price
| | from $259 - $4500 each. I can also create custom firmware on some =
panels.
| |
| | This is just one example:
| |
| | I had a Canadian dealer that needed to be able to download several =
hundred
| | DSC 2550 & 3000's. They were all older versions that DLS2002 did not
| | support. DSC no longer has the chips available. I was able to make =
updated
| | chips for the dealer, thus allowing him to download all the panels =
with
| | DLS2002.

| Some

must

| | | out how the hex data is wriiten, and where to make your changes. =
It's=20
| 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=20
| do
| | | that without having a clue what you are changing.
| | |
| | | So unless you are willing to spend several thousand dollars on all =
the

hex=20
| data,
| | I
| | | suggest you just replace the board like most others do.
