I was lucky enough to get an open box Apex AD-500WM for CHEAP from 
Wal-Mart. Found how to upgrade it via CDR here:

Sucks that this version of the Rom has not been cracked yet. Have to 
use a different one that stops the display & front-panel buttons from 
working. Of course it can be reprogrammed with the original Rom to 
give you back that functionality. Been waiting for the nerd-out site 
to come back up. Maybe they have some better info...?

for sending in a blank EEProm & have it burned for ya for practically 
nothing...
