I suggest you talk to Pre'spect in Canada (that's the ALF people) I
recently bought an RLL controller/software package from them, they
are quite happy to sell you just the bits you need. The only problem
you may have is if your controller is not one supported by the ALF
software.

Disclaimer: If you think I can live in New Zealand and still have
anything to do with a Canadian company except as a customer, then
anything I say isn't going to change your mind.
