I must be getting blind in my old age (it's hand placing all those SMD
components) but I can't see the sample ordering service. Selecting
"samples" in the support area just directs me to a list of their
distributors. Any chance you can point me in the right direction?

Earlier this year I tried to obtain some LPC2138 samples through 2 UK
Distributors, first WBC(Avnet) and subsequently Eurodis. WBC got a
sales engineer to contact me, who repeatedly tried to arrange a
meeting to "see how they could help me" (clue to him: I'm a 1 man
business, I don't have time to sit down and listen to a guy sell me
stuff I can't afford). No samples were forthcoming. Eurodis got me to
submit the usual project requirements and potential usage, and were
never heard of again. My extremely polite e-mails weren't replied to. 

Eurodis went into administration in July.
