TASC no longer exists as a company, from what I've been told, mostly because
they had to settle a large lawsuit about the SmartBoard (which they apparently
reverse engineered from another board, to some degree). I was told that they
reformed under another company, but I do not know its name.

They still have their website at www.tasc.nl, but it doesn't look like it has
been updated for over three years. Don't be fooled by the "Last Modified"
section at the bottom of the page -- it gets updated with the current time every
time somebody accesses the page! If you look down in the products list, it says
that the SmartBoard was "discontinued".
