WHENCE?

The board was originally designed by Steve Wiseman, mainly as an after-midnight hobby. By day, he designed set-top boxes for TVs. By night, he toiled >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>

Steve had previously worked under Dr David Bisset at www.dyson.co.uk’s robotics division. In 1999 Wookey and Aleph1 became involved. Aleph1 is no longer involved, and Wookey now works at ARM (but is still involved). In 2001, Toby Churchill Ltd needed a powerful processor-card to power its next-generation Lightwriters. Nick Bane, senior software engineer at TCL, bought Steve a beer. One thing led to another … today, iEndian and Toby Churchill Ltd share engineers and objectives. But the two companies are separate.

WHITHER?

The boards have been made available at rock-bottom prices to anybody (hobbyist, university or commercial company).

We are a small group of individuals, fired up by the ‘Open Source’ concept.

Please do not expect us to do “big company” things (but we do supply VAT invoices...)

Keep it simple, we beseech you; the formula is: =if(you want them,then buy them,else don't)

CAN IENDIAN SUPPLY IN QUANTITY?

Yes, but please try to take them in regular monthly drop-shipments.

CAN I BUILD IT MYSELF?

Yes.
