Here you have the Pentax e-mail:

Thank you for contacting
Pentax Imaging Company. 
Pentax does not produce a
split-image focusing screen for the *ist D or *ist DS models. This is because
AF functions and multi-zone metering can be "confused" by the
use of such a screen. 
Pentax produces the following
focusing screens for the *ist D and *ist DS models: 
#38571 LF-60 AF Frame Matte
$62.00 (Pentax List Price) 
#38572 LL-60 AF Divided Matte
$62.00 (Pentax List Price) 
#38573 LI-60 AF Scale Matte
$62.00 (Pentax List Price) 
(Pentax List Price does not
necessarily reflect actual dealer price). 

Reagads,
Jaume

That's interesting.... any AF focus problems I've had with either the DS or the 
K10D have not gotten better (or worse) with the changed screen.  That's the 
first time I've heard that explanation against a split-screen option!
