 I would suggest you go ahead and get a timer module to work on your PC. Use 
the X10 software to program your scheduled events.
 The software also has a feature to show you what signals are appearing on 
your house wiring so you can find a house code that will not be the same as 
another user is using.

 Use the coco to develop a real time event program for security and 
automation. Much easier to program and more fun. But the grunt work can be 
really easy on a PC.

 I missed the message that points to an OS9 driver that will talk to the RS 
PnP timer. Can you point me to that? I will try and see what I can do with 
MY coco system as I have one now, working, but using the software that came 
from X10 years ago for use in RS-DOS. It's clunky but works. It's the ONLY 
software I use that isn't OS-9.
 I'll see if I can change the house code on My PnP timers. I have two. One 
is attached to the coco and the other is in my living room simply as a 
button pusher to turn things on and off.

 Right now, I need to get a phase coupler to fix a problem with the timers 
not talking well to modules on another power leg. Not expensive and easy to 
install.
