Jim, I just purchased an extra Digitool on Ebay and it came yesterday.
Today I tested it on my 87 daily driver. I am willing to send it to you
for diagnostic purposes. It comes with a spare ECU that has the required
extra 25 pin connector for the Digitool to hook up to. Vanagon 2.1
Digifant only.

This is the original version 1.0, built by Daryll Boehler
