Hello....
I have the CP290 controller that I lost the serial cable to interface
with the PC. This standalone unit was programmable, except for
the cable now gone.
I looked at the X-10 site, and saw nothing of any help.
I was hoping someone knows where I could either buy the ready-made
cord, or know the pins out/in on either end.
I remember the 9-pin was on one end, and a 5 pin DIN was the other.
Thanks Les
x10.com lists the cable for the CP290-Mac interface:

The pinout of the DIN connector is in this manual from smarthome.com:

pigselectronics.com also has a Mac cable:

Didin't find a CP290 in my junkbox, just a CM11A.
That pinout is as follows:
db9 female - looking in
ABCDE
FGHI
rj11 male - from the end - clip down
ABFD
