My first 270 Mb Syquest started playing up about seven months after I had
bought it and Syquest wouldn't touch it - again because I hadn't bought it
direct.  They were very pleasant though and advised me to contact the
supplier (Technology Matrix) as it had a two year warranty.

Technology Matrix asked me to reurn the drive to them and sent me a
replacement by return, without any quibbles.  They in turn would be sending
the faulty one to Syquest.

I presume Castle Technology should replace the drive under warranty and send
the faulty one back to Syquest.  Either that or send it away on your behalf.
