Does anyone know what happened to Crate (as in TapeCRATE) technology?? First they changed their 800 phone number and started answering the new 800 number as "IronWorks"(??). Then that 800 was disconnected. The 800 operator doesn't have a listing for either name (actually they list both the old disconnected 800 numbers). I was working with their customer support to solve a problem and using the 800 number. After a couple of months of "debugging" by me (and them) I called one last time and ask for them to call back (the guy I'd been working with was out at the time). He never called back... About a week later I tried again and their 800 number was disconnected. Very strange... Did they go Chapter 11? Any ideas anyone? Thanks in advance.

I recall reading in MacWorld (the issue about radiation dangers from vdt's) that Crate went belly-up. Unfortunate, because I have a hard disk from them; but of course it's long out of warranty anyway. I think you're s.o.l. on this one; perhaps some other company could help you? The manufacturer of the drive itself i.e. Seagate or some such?
