Default after-market focusing screen for the 20D

Is it possible to purchase a split-prism focusing screen to replace the
default screen in the 20D? Would that screw up the auto-focus? No idea how
this stuff works internally. Figure such a product would be nice.

Yes, it is possible; see http://www.keoptics.com/. I can't tell you
anything about it beyond what's on the website. I wish they had one for
the Olympus E300 - I got used to it on my old Minolta and miss it.
