I got a reply from Keoptics:
Hi Joaquim,
Thank you very much for your inquiry. I do not have Katz Eye(tm) focusing
screens available for the Pentax *ist DS at this time. It is certainly be a
model I'd be willing to develop a screen for, however. Since each model
requires individual calibration and development, I will need someone to lend
me a *ist DS to work with for several weeks so I can fit, calibrate, and
check the screen. If and when a volunteer becomes available, I will
definitely make a screen for that model. Thanks again for your interest and
if I can be of any further service, please let me know.
Best regards,
Rachael Katz

Sorry for the confusion I caused a while ago with the BCCing to the

Anyway, here is the reply from precision optics. I'm now contacting
Keoptics and will keep you informed.
Dear Joaquim,
I am currently involved in a cooperative venture to produce manual
focusing screens for a wide variety of DSLRs. Rachael Katz of
keoptics.com is making a line of large diameter microprism/split
image rf focus screens for digital cameras. My part of this is to
enhance the performance of these screens with my HI-LUX process which
makes them brighter which then helps compensate for the darker
viewfinders and slower lenses common to these cameras. Contact her
through her website and she can give you single and quantity prices.
