The first SH204 that we got for the JACG BBS at the beginning of this year
was DOA, probably due to the fact that the majority of the metal case
contained empty space.  The power supply and controller were there,
but the hard drive itself was missing.  Who removed it and when
(factory worker? Atari? distributor? retailer?) is anybody's guess.  The
packing carton was apparently factory-sealed.
  Needless to say, the "hard drive that wasn't" was returned and replaced.
The replacement was complete and intact, and has been in operation
continuously since March or so, with nary a problem.  Drive fan is too
loud, though.
