Hi Martyn,
I have never come across a simple countdown timer that would connect to a DS system and laptop. While appreciating that you don't need the extras that a race management system would provide I think that is the route you will probably need to go down unless someone comes up with a better solution.
The best one available is Race Coordinator LINK which can work with a DS system. It is a fully featured RMS but can be as simple or complicated as you wish to make it. Why not give it a try? It is free so you have nothing to lose and you may find that it gives an extra dimension to your racing. It has a demo mode so you can download it to your home computer and have a play with it first without having to connect to your track.
DS also do their own software but it is a devil of a job to find it and, by all accounts, a nightmare to use.
