Unknown Vic-20 item?

I had something just like that, it's part of a system that allows you to time the lights and other devices that are plugged into your outlets.

 

One of those homebrew bsr-x10 house controllers.

So, in other words, no practical value. I was going to just toss it since it wasn't anything I'd need.

Toss? TOSS? Trade it, man, for something you DO want. I'd offer but can't afford to hardly pay attention right now. Trade it!!

That is most likely the ViController. Looks exactly like mine.

 

Here is a link to a .d64 of the software

 

Your link didn't survive.

 

I'd want to open it up to be sure, but the User Port definitions of the VIC-20 and the C-64 are almost certainly close enough that the ViController should work on both. It's probably just using the ACIA-emulation pins and skipping the RS-232-voltage-conversion step.

 

I have the "official" X-10 serial controller ( Make your ST a Powerhouse ) with a C-64 cable. I used it for years to turn my lights on and off at night. Lots of fun.
