    Just curious, did you try contacting the dealer, or Atari? I have heard
    a lot of just out of warrantee stuff being replaced while in the vicinity
    of customer service.

I did contact the dealer and they said it was not possible.  I should
have talked directly to Atari though.  It turns out that the index
sensor on the disk was dead so the disk could not find out the position
of the heads.  The repair shop borrowed a sensor from another disk and
managed to get the data off the disk.  A new sensor will be installed
later this week.  I picked up a Supra drive last week since I couldn't
wait for the Atari disk to be fixed.  It is much quieter than the Atari
drive.

Anybody want to buy a slightly used SH204 drive?
