I'm waiting for the same thing...;-)

There is info at:
www.geocities.com/kamen_nick/TRV20/codes.htm
(the TRV20, PC100, and PC110 may be similar enough...),
but it is not clear there how to make sure (or even
how to change) the "check sum" - and if that is not
correctly done, the camera will not operate. If you
have more on this, I'm interested in reading it. It
appears that many 3-chip camera functions are on the
one-chip cameras, but disabled and hidden. I'm
especially interested in enabling AE-A mode and
AE-bias, both of which are on the PC100, but hidden...
