Taegan, I even once converted a console and interfaced it with my ZX-81
Sinclair ( remember them) using opto-isolators.It worked ok but wasnt
very reliable and I had to devote the Sinclair to it. At that time or a
little later the coco x-10 was 100 bucks. I think I might have a
schematic for the coco x-10 , I'll have to look . If you need it let me
know.

Taegan, just looked and have no scematic , but I have the pinout of the
coco cassette port which is where the x-10 plugs in. It is not a serial
port. Are you talking about a differtent type of x-10 maybe for tandy
1000"s & up. Anyway here are the pinouts.
1- Remote for cassette motor
2- Signal Ground
3- Remote for cassette motor
4- Audio input
5- Audio output
Taegan, I hope this help's but this port can not be connected to a
serial port, these are line level audio signals. You could probably
make an interface ahead of audio stages but it probably isn't worth it.
If youre friend had an X-10 for a Tandy 1000 series then it's probably a
serial type.
