  The problem is with a DMA chip in early STe's. Ste's with the new,
working chip are marked somewhere with a red dot I believe. It's
either on the back or on the chip itself - Can't remember offhand.
Maybe Allan Pratt could help you out with that one.
  However, the word in the UK is that Atari will only correct **THEIR**
mistake if you have a problem with, you guessed it, an ATARI H/Drive.
  They will not help you out with a third party drive, at least not for free.
I know it sucks, but that's Atari's second-to-none customer support for
you  8-).
