I just sold a 1040ST through the power of the net, and following
shipment, he has experienced trouble with the drive.  It apparently gives
a "disk unreadable" error.  Is this a head alignment problem?  I never
experienced this failure before I shipped the system.  If it is a head
alignment problem, who will realign internal Atari DS drives? The buyer
lives in Lawrence, KS, is there anyplace near there for Atari service,
hello anyone in Kansas?  What about service by mail, as a last resort?
ANY HELP on this is appreciated, I feel terrible shipping out a system
that is AOK and having it arrive as inoperable hardware.  Please E-mail
me if you have any comments.
