Has the Big Al slotted square been discontinued? Are they available and where? I don't see a tool section on the Guild page. Has there been changes?

I don't know the answer to that, but there's a new Al in town: http://timberframehq.com/layout/

Yes, that is the original. I'm going for the complicated one, we have two of the Big Al's in the shop, the other one can bring additional power to the floor.

I think it's 3 phase power. Maybe 3rd eye power. 3rd hand?

The "new Al" is one of the best layout tools going, next to a lay flat tape measure.

This tool is only for "edge rule" or "mill rule" correct?

If you take the fence off (which you can do on the original, not sure about the new version), then you can use it for line rule. It's slick. That's a Holder Brothers trick.
