Just curious, how would you PC program the MX-500 when
it has no port to connect to a PC?
irclone took advantage of the "clone" feature on the mx-500. You can clone one mx-500 to another (via ir), so the irclone folks (and others) essentially reverse engineered the ir data stream that was being passed during the cloning process. They built a box (that connected to the PC via USB) that could send and receive this ir data stream and wrote software that could interpret the data. The software was similar to the current software from URC. It was really quite slick.
