Darrell, the original maker of the digitool, would make, though not
support, a digitool for the 1.9.  I emailed back and forth with him a
couple of years ago about doing this, but decided not to do it as I was
seriously considering a conversion.

I also emailed with a few people who had purchased and used the 1.9
version.  It was as successful as the Digifant model.  So, there
probably some out there in use, but not very many.

If you had the technical knowledge and skill to make one for the 2.1
using the plans that Darrel had on the web site, you could use a Bentley
and the wiring diagrams in it to make a Digitool for the Digijet.  The
connections at the ECU would be different but the ones at the Digitool
itself would be essentially the same IIRC

The plans and schematics are still on the web:
