I am a regular reader of messages on the EIO LCD Hyper-email Discussion group and I see the same types of questions posted all the time. I created this web page and a couple others to help answer these questions. I hope this helps.

Most if not all of these controller are made by and distributed in
the US by Digital View. See their listing a little further down.
One nice thing about Aurora's site is that they list model numbers
of panels each controller is compatible with.

Once you get your controller you'll need cables to connect
them together. One source of connecting cables is www.quadrangleproducts.com
They are not cheap however. I got a quote for a QD1129 cable and
a QD2968 cable with 31 pin DF9 connector on some side and they are $26.95
each. Ouch. I can get a panel off ebay for 1/2 that price.
