Looking for Alspa Micro PLC Programming Software and Cable for MS DOS Connection

Question:

Greetings! I recently bought an Alspa Micro PLC from E bay UK, which is in excellent condition and comes with a complete set of manuals. However, I am in need of the PC-based programming software (part code CE641SWP020) and the cable required to connect the PLC to a MS DOS PC. Due to the age of the PLC, finding the software may be a challenge. Thank you for taking the time to read this.

I've read that GE Proficy Machine Edition may support some Alspa platforms, although I am not completely certain. It is my understanding that Proficy offers a 14-day trial period.

Thanks Parky, I'll definitely give it a try.
