Absolutely fair enough - just miss it as it’s the only one we signpost
people to that covers this range of kit. Good luck in getting the new one up
and running and let us know if FAST can help publicise the new one. The
other thing we could discuss is linking this database with the Disabled
Living Foundation living made easy website as they don't cover this range of
kit and may consider prominent signposting to the new site.
Cheers. Keren

The directory from our website is actually the database that the ACE Centre
in Oxford have created and currently working on, I think they felt that the
old one was out of date and so have taken it off in preparation for the new
one.

I was going to point you to the Ace north directory of VOCA technology but
its being improved so unavailable till 2010! (not sure why old one isn't
still up there?). Keren

how about
http://www.ace-centre.org.uk
http://www.bltt.org/
http://abilitynet.wetpaint.com/
and perhaps even www.oatsoft.org
You need to root around in all of them as they don't specialise in AAC
