Yep, its on minus4.plus4.net inside the uploader package.
The plus4 cable is very simple, but you still have to be able to get the parts etc, for it. They are becoming harder to source, have a look inside the uploader thread for some details.
You can build the cable and test it with the uploader program. With it you can download .PRG files directly to the plus4 to run. Which is great in itself - running stuff on the actual machine is much better 
I can now fully trace a program running on the Plus4.
This means I can stop a program in mid-execution, run it again, step (steps into JSR's, follows bnranches etc.), trace (executes JSR's, executes until after a branch) etc. And place many user break points.
So now I can start adding symbols, memory windows, watch variables and all the rest. Source level debugging is also something I consider vital these days.
You can see a work in progress here: http://minus4.plus4.net/files/Debug1.gif
