As has been done with the REX 5000 in the past, tap into the communication
line between the REX and the computer you are syncing to (may require
another computer) and read the data coming across. If it is the same as
the 5000, it first dumps memory to the sync computer and then reads the
data from the sync computer (may be only changes at this point).

I believe that the line speed (for the 5000) is 9600 baud.

If you start with very little data in the REX and sync file, you can begin
to piece together the protocol and the data format.

Let me know how it works out.

Alternately, you might try to find a copy of "beta test TrueSync
Connectivity Pack for REX for Linux". If you have a Linux machine, this
will work fine to load your REX.
