Ha. I phoned them up about my dead EZ135, on the advice of Castle Technology,
and I spoke to a really obnoxious bloke, who effectively told me to stick my
drive up my arse! (What he actually said was that they wouldn't touch the
drive unless I'd bought it from them direct, which was exactly the opposite
of what Castle said)

The matter is further complicated by their repairs dept now being in Germany.
I suppose this accounts for them having had it for 8 weeks :-(
