[Coco] further adventures with plug'n'power/x10

[Stephen H. Fischer]

Hi,

Has anyone had any luck running the CoCo2 PnP software (Cart) on a CoCo 3 in 
CoCo 2 mode?

The CFL (Black Light) is NOT the one (only one) light that is controlled by 
the CoCo2 PnP!

That one light is the only one I wish to control to turn on at night (Random 
time) to keep my front door being knocked in as it was years ago.

All the rest are controlled by my TV's remote control (RCU810 - JP1)

SHF
