The Inka display is made by Baum.  It seems to have 2 mode.  There is a
driver for the display in JFW and they tell you to use mode 2 (modes are 1
or 2).  They talk as if mode 2 emulates the Alva displays.

The Inka has its own PC-style keyboard and won't work (in Dos) if not
connected to the keyboard (large DIN) port of the PC.  (A PS2/DIN
adaptor works.)  It also uses the serial port.
Its cursor-routing is done by optical means by placing a finger over a
square above each cell.  In the JFW driver (above), cursor routing
doesn't seem to work.
