I still use my CP-290 with a C-64 (that is, when I happen to have the CP-290
plugged _in_). Mostly, though, I've been using palm pads, not computer
control. Got lots of X-10 stuff, more in boxes than in the walls. Some of
it works, some has died over the past 10 years. Got one wall-switch module
that only works over the AC lines (dead pushbutton), another that doesn't
respond electronically, but the tiny override switch works. Someday, I
might pull them both and combine them. :-)
I was offered a *huge* box (> 1 cu ft) of modules at Dayton for $0.25 each.
The seller said they didn't work and I didn't feel like speculating on a
mondo pile of RS returns. I might have gotten the whole box for the cost
of two or three modules, but the time involved to test them all was worth
more than I felt they were worth.
