No, but it isn't that expensive, either. Another (free) alternative,
as has been mentioned before is Linux and linuxcnc. You would have to
become familiar with Linux if you haven't used it (I haven't), but it
should be pretty easy if you are only using it for one program.

I just ordered a 3 axis controller on ebay ($42 USD including
shipping), though I think I could use the parts from the on-board
controller to make my own controller, especially if I use the parallel port.
