I bought one of these back in 1996 via an importer for ~$1600. It was about the size of a VHS tape. I liked the side-mounted eraser head mouse, but the keyboard was almost too small for touch typing. It was much nicer than the competing IBM model, which (if I remember correctly) had a side-talkin phone built in.
Access Indiana is actually managed by a national parent company, National Information Consortium, which does much the same thing in 10 other states. I'm surprised Katz didn't mention them.
Full disclosure: I work in one of those states, so naturally I'm a little biased.

Sold it a few months later for $3000. Good times.
