I don't know of one but I am interested in getting such a capability myself.
For $20 I may want to buy one of the units "on spec" as you did.

Also, I may be able to write a suitable program or contribute to the writing
thereof.  It should ideally run in a cartridge so you don't need a disk drive
for the security system.  It would be even better if it didn't need an RS-232
interface.  The joystick ports on the Atari can be used for both input and
output, and the serial I/O port can be converted into an RS-232 port with the
addition of a couple of level translator chips (that's what an R:verter is,
folks).

Please post the phone number and address of DAK and the catalog date and order
number of this BSR gadget!!!

Is anyone else out there in net-land interested in collaborating on the design
of a cheap BSR security system controller package to run on a bare bones 800XL
with no disk drive and no 850 interface?  At last report the XL is going for
$69.95 by itself.

     Recently, there was a Public domain program in C posted to the net
     in mod.sources that could drive the BSR X-10.  I have a copy of it.
     I suppose it could be easily modified for use by the XL.
