Have you checked with ESE lately?
I just received information an update EPROM is available for our
ES-185A. Cost is $75. I ordered mine yesterday.

I have the same problem with a ESE master clock that controls my
whole 
facility.  Last year after hearing about the change in DST dates, I

contacted ESE to when the upgraded PROM was going to be available
for my 
master clock and they told me it would be available in time for the
new 
date.  I called them a month ago to order the new PROM and they
told me they 
decided not do an upgrade.  They told me from now on to disable the
auto DST 
feature on my clock and to do the change manually.  Needless to
say, I was 
not happy hearing this.  I guess they just want me to buy a new
clock from 
them with the new upgraded programing.  Another example of a
manufacturer 
not doing support on their products.
