If you could tell me where to look for them, or even just what they're called, I would love you forever! An alternate way to connect to the digital I/Os would work too.

Aaron,

You want the 3 wire pwm extension cables which you can purchase from any hobby store that sells RC airplanes, cars, etc. You can also buy online from Tower Hobbies.

In addition, do a search of these fori as there have been threads dealing with buying the connectors from Digi-key and making your own...

We use the PWM extension cables... It's easier.
