SW2512 "work around" [RE-wrenches]

	Bob-1;

	Who is going to sell the EEPROM's? I'm assuming that Trace doesn't just
hand them out to anyone who asks without first knowing the unit's serial #,
etc. Also what would this do to the UL approval of the unit if it is
installed in a code system?
	What would be great is if there was a legal after-market method of
supplying EEPROM's that were 'tricked up' to add desired
performance/function changes to SW inverters, similar to the hot-rod chips
available for internal combustion engines that allow users to modify one or
more parameters for better power/performance. Usually, these hot chips are
inserted between the vehicle's computer and engine electronics. Anyone want
to construct/program an external controller for SW series inverters that
can plug into the serial/stacking port and modify the behavior of the unit???
	Better yet, build a better controller board to replace the internal one in
the SW. Just use the best parts of the Trace unit (transformer, transfer
relays, MOSFET's, cabinet, etc.) and make it stand up and do tricks
Zantac/Statpower never considered.
	Yeah! Hackers for RE!!
