In the latest ST Format and I quote:

"Bob Gleadow, Managing Director of Atari UK, is keen to clear the air
about STE DMA problems. As FORMAT reported in issue 16, a faulty DMA
chip in some STEs could result in hard drive data becoming corrupted
after just a few hours' use. Gleadow told FORMAT that if you've got a
problem with your STE, and you can prove it's a legitimate DMA problem,
then Atari will deal with it free of charge. If you feel your STE is
one of the "small" batch of machines that has a duff DMA chip, then
phone Atari on 0753 33344 for the technical department. Oh, and tell
'em ST FORMAT sent you."
