Currently, the Avant Stellar is $189 + shipping + a PS/2 adaptor if you need one
(the kbd has the older AT type of plug). Availability is about six weeks from
now. They're gonna hit my credit card when they ship. Apparently many or most of
their small first batch went out as evaluation units to reviewers; it
disappeared quickly. She told me that they hadn't found any compatibility
problems, except with one H-P box that wouldn't recognize the kbd no how no way.
They supply a Windows or DOS software program to write to the kbd's
PROM, after which you can run Linux or whatever -- I assume that this software
will run under DOSEMU or Dos-OS/2 (penalty box). Anyway, she assured me that if it
doesn't work for me, I get a refund. Fair enough.
