I bought an install disc for Snow Leopard (OS X 10.6) back when that was the current version.

Seems they have it in the offical online store still actually: https://www.apple.com/shop/product/MC573Z/A/mac-os-x-106-sno...

However when I inquired at an authorized store about a later version after it came out they said that it was not available on disc and you had to buy it via the Mac App Store which means you need to have OS X in the first place but I'm not sure if they were talking about their own store or in general.

I'm on mobile right now so not going to bother finding out what other versions can be bought on disc media from the official online store but if someone else would like to chime in with more links that'd be welcome.

I come across these once a year or so on the net but when I need them I never can remember them because it's not so often that I need them

Seems that only four of the tips are available?

Maybe but the OP link has links to both of those and summarizes quite neatly what this is IMO.

Readme has instructions for building on Linux so it's not limited to OS X.

When I first saw the name "HolyJit" On Reddit I thought it was going to be something new from the TempleOS guy.

Someone in the comments linked a cheaper alternative: http://abusemark.com/store/index.php?main_page=product_info&...

Seems that the firmware for this cheaper alternative is not open source but from what I gather it doesn't need any proprietary drivers on Linux. Since it interfaces over Display Port and USB I don't think it should be able to do anything nasty so the closed firmware doesn't matter much IMO.

It's not clear to me whether either of the one you linked and the one I linked has touch support.

That link has an interesting write-up which includes a story about a computer he made himself using a micro-controller and then it goes on to talk about making the OS for the Raspberry Pi and also has some criticism of the Raspberry Pi. Would recommend reading.
