Does anyone know if the deal where one sends in their Atari 520ST to Atari
and gets a new one back is still good? I remember the price as being
around $95 or so. What are the catches to this? Can it be done through a
dealer or only through Atari? Thanks for any information!

Thanks for any information! > In case you haven't already gotten an answer on this one, yes, there is a real program like this. If your machine is defective, and your dealer can't fix it or whatever, you can send it to Atari along with a flat fee and it will be replaced. (Note: _replaced_. So, if you have any strange upgrades that you installed yourself, you were warned.) Anyway, the fees are as follows: 520ST $ 95 520STfm $115 1040ST $125 Box the dead unit up and send it (along with a letter explaining the unit is defective, and that you'd like it replaced) to: Atari Corporation 390 Caribbean Dr. Sunnyvale, CA 94089 Attn: Door 17 Hope that helps!
