As far as I know, Olduvai never actually got this product to market.
Theyt advertised for ages, but calls to them always got a "Real
Soon Now" response.  Eventually they withdrew plans to market it.
I am not sure what the issue was, but I suspect that while they might
have gotten it working for some devices, they had trouble getting it 
to support the full range of possible ADB class devices.
