Does anyone have any "personal carnal knowledge" about the Motorola / GI IRT 1000 receiver?

I have a new headend launch with 10 of these "dinosaurs" which are no longer supported by Motorola. (In fact not for 10 years!) but I know there must be some old cable/sat guy out there who has some info about these?!? I am having trouble getting the ACP #s programmed to properly receive the HITS feed for this property, as we do not have a controller (DAC6000) to reprogram these units. They were used when we got them from Whoosh.com and were set up to some other system apparently. My other 20+ GI 4400MD units are all fine, of course.
Does anyone know of a down and dirty WINDOWS based software or a not too expensive hardware control for these DINOSAURS? Any ideas greatly appreciated!!!
