If they're doing so, I've only seen it on EBay - picked up one myself.  
Yes, these will work with
something other than AIX (if you dont mind it being a framebuffer for now).

Just be careful about what LCD's you use them with, they may be a bit 
picky about giving a good
picture - in terms of screen artifacts. 

(Yes, I've got both the 4500 and their 6500 from separate sources, but 
I'd personally stick with the 6000 unless you're sure about the picture 
quality)
