Well first off, you can contact Atari Customer Relations @ (408) 745-2367 for
information on local dealers, users groups and Atari's return/exchange policy.

If you want to mail something in for repairs the address is:

Atari Corp.
390 Caribbean Dr.
Sunnyvale, CA  94089
Attn:  Door 17

Please pack the unit up with a return address and phone number, a letter
explaining what has gone wrong with the unit, AND a check or money order made
out to the correct amount.

As for the trade in X amount of 8-bits for an ST, sorry, Atari does not have
such a policy.  If you send in X amount of 800XLs (or what ever) in w/ the
correct amount for each ($50.00) you will get back X amount of 800XLs in
return.
