Index Information - Help, please!
« on: December 01, 2007, 07:35:29 PM »
I'm looking to get in contact with former employees of Index Information to get some info about the Inside Out/Siamese PCI card. You can see a brief overview here:
http://www.amiga-hardware.com/showhardware.cgi?HARDID=41

I haven't had much luck in tracking down anyone who worked on the device, so I was hoping a.org users could help me.

The main person I would like to contact is Mick Tinker, who was the Technical Director at Index Information. Unfortunately the one e-mail address I have for the man (index@cix.compulink.co.uk), is no longer valid. Does anyone here have a more up to date e-mail address/contact telephone number, or know what Mick Tinker did after stopping development work for the Amiga? Alternatively, does anyone know a name of another Index Information employee?

I contacted a former Blittersoft employee and I am looking for Anti Gravity Products employees as I know they had links to Index Information in the past. I did have confirmation from the Blittersoft employee that they didn't work on the Inside Out board hardware, but that's the only extra information I've gained on the device by e-mail so far.

I do have a good reason for wanting to speak to Index Information about the Siamese PCI board. I don't want to say a huge amount about my plans yet, but let's just say my enquiries are Minimig related. :-)

Thanks in advance.

I'm not looking to bother 'these people' but merely ask a few questions, I'm hardly likely to offend them by doing that.

If you must know my curiosity is related to the AGA implementation on their boards. Maybe you should ask, what will leaving this technology alone achieve?

I tried to search on a.org forums, couldn't find one post that indicated people have tried to contact Mick Tinker in the past. Maybe I was looking in the wrong place, but I don't think this is a topic which has come up many times before. Care to prove me wrong?

Anyway, found this link...

Looks like Paul Nolan and Steve Rencontre would also be useful contacts. Thank you for your constructive post.

It may well be bothersome to someone who has been harassed in the past and wants to leave their past completely behind them.  But, you never really know..
