[comp.sys.mac.wanted] Mac compatible X-10 controller wanted

clg@guardian.cs.psu.edu (Craig Lee Gruneberg) (06/08/90)

I am looking for a controller manufactured by X-10 for use
with a Mac. The model number was something like X290 and the thing
was a standalone power line controller able to be programmed by the
Mac, disconnected from the Mac, and then it goes off and addresses
and controls X-10 modules at preselected times. Anybody have one laying
around gathering dust?

Please e-mail me if you would like to get rid of it.
Thanks
Craig

Aren't these still available in stores?  I think I paid about $40
for mine from Egghead Software.

I purchase the IBM PC version, then contacted the X-10 folks, who informed me
that I could get the cables and software directly from them, as an exchange.
Oh, it works great!
