Wise words indeed, though (i) the steppers are already outside of a year old and (ii) in any event I've got 6 years to bring a claim for breach of SoGA; warranties do not do what most people think they do. Entirely academic as I'd not pursue that route for a hundred quid's worth of motors, and probably not even for three hundred quid's worth of drivers. Point taken, though, hassle is worth avoiding where possible.

In fact, taking that on board, I might shift my plans around a bit. I'll still finish up the PSU first because it's nearly finished anyway!
