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!
