[Coco] plug'n'power controller manual?

A few years ago I grabbed two kinds of Plug n Power controllers on 
ebay, for a rainy day.  One has switches on the front while the other 
is a much nicer gray box with no switches except for the power 
switch, and I assume is more software controlled than the other.  I 
haven't had any luck locating any outlet modules for either device 
nor do I know if the same module will work with either controller.

I have the manual for the 26-1182 (the gray one) and I see some code 
listings towards the end.  They appear to be hybrid BASIC/ML listings 
but I'm not sure if they are the same programs as the controller 
software supplied on tape or disk.  I'd find the ML software and 
disassemble it and go from there.
