I suppose you have already tried this but you could try to contact the TASC
people at:

http://www.tasc.nl/

The e-mail address is support@tasc.nl

When I go to this page it still says that support for the TASC Smartboard is
discontinued so I wouldn't get my hopes up. There were legal proceedings going
on that effectively tied up all their business for a long time, claiming that
the Smartboard infringed on patented technology. I believe those are now wrapped
up but that probably means they do not continue support for the board.

By the way, TASC is also the employer of programmer Johan de Koning, - The King,
ChessMaster -, so if Michael still would want to ask some questions of Johan, if
he would write to TASC support there is at least a chance of his questions being
read..

 Best regards everybody,
 Eelco
