I went direct to the distributors (I didn't realise that's who they were -
I
just got their details off the web). They are Hugh Symons Computing
Solutions, based in Poole, Dorset, tel.no. 0870 849 0208. They don't
normally sell direct, but they couldn't come up with a retailer in my area
who stocked these things, so their salesman (a really nice guy called
Darren) did me a favour and arranged a direct sale. Turned up next day, as
well. You could give them a ring, but I have no idea if they can help you
in NZ.
Cheers,
Bruno
