Jon, I noticed that you had posted to a thread on xbox-scene about hackers hardware and mentioned the problems you had with Chris.
As we have discussed in previous emails your dealings with Chris in relation to PS2 modifications are not and will never be anything to do with OzXChip. I am extremely disappointed that I am now inheriting some of Chris' PS2 issues and I have raised my concerns with Chris.
I am also deeply annoyed that yourself and Chris are at a "stalemate" with regards to who owes who what and it is really shitting me off that as a result of this my company's reputation is being affected. Although I cannot offer any solution to this problem (and shouldn't have to) I will again ask Chris to resolve this matter with you.
I would also request personally of you to refrain from making the sorts of comments you have made about OzXChip in the future. I personally and OzXChip have never bad mouthed yourself or Cavern Imports and I ask for the same respect from you. I would appreciate it greatly if you could edit your post on XBox-Scene.
I would encourage you to employ alternative methods of recovering your funds from Chris McDonald such as legal action rather than trying to get the money from him by bad mouthing my company! If you do want to post your thoughts on Chris' PS2 dealings or workmanship on message forums I'd ask that you do so with no reference to OzXChip but instead referencing CMCD, Chris or whatever name you traded with him under and also keep it to PS2 related websites.
I have financed and established the OzXChip project with the assistance of Chris and his contacts whom are regarded as sub-contractors/consultants to my company. I have also on previous occasions indicated to you that I do not have any problems at all in dealing with yourself as a representative of Cavern Imports, so far my dealings with Chris/CMCD as both an OzXChip installer and consultant to OzXChip have been positive and I will be closely watching my dealings with him to ensure that it does not turn out like your relationship.
If you wish to discuss this matter with me further I would be happy to do so via a phone call.
Thank you for taking the time to read this email.

personally i would think twice about dealing with chris as a professional, his soldering skills leave much to be desired and as long as he claims to be the mouthpiece for ozxchips then that is the way people will see him. I am not the only one to gripe about his installation work, nobody is perfect, but for someone who claims to have "35 years of experience" then he really needs to fix things up. his reputation amoung the modchip comunity is very fast becoming a liability to you. whenever i have mentioned any problems with him i have also been very quik to point out that him by name and not just the company he works for. I will seperate the two when i am satisfied that he no longer works for ozxchips, until then people who i consider fellow collegues need to know hat they should be carefull when dealing with him. Having said that, i will on that particular post mention our conversation as a followup so that readers will not be confused.
regards

make of it what you will, i have not had any probs with "mike" personally, but if someone under his employ is ripping people off then he has to expect a little fallback untill he sacks the bastard.
