[DER FALKE IST GELANDET!
[----------------------

Most Computer Shops in Germany have
become their Demo-machines of the
FALCON 030. I have tested this machine
many times in our local shop called
"Witte". I only can say that this
machine is simply great. ATARI supplied
the shops with the normal version of
it (4 MB RAM and 65 MB Hard Disc) but
now it comes: they also have a half
Giga-Bytes Floptical (Magnetoptisches-
Laufwerk, to hard to translate..) to
show cool sound and Gfx Demos.
And something more cool: 2 nice
Yamaha boxes to enjoy the fantastic
sound.
In Germany the FALCON will be buyable
for normal people in February or March
93.It will cost 2300 DM (cheap I think,
'cause with 4 MB and 65 MB Hard Disc).
But hope that ATARI will not sell
cheaper versions (with only one meg and
no Hard Disk)because it's totally shit!
All developers have received their
FALCON'S, too. There many Programs
in production. I have seen a demo of a
very good Sound-PRG by TRADE IT.
It plays a 2 minutes tune with 50 kHz.
This tune is around 50 MB long!!
But with the half giga-meg Floptical
there's no problem.
The FALCON is not so compatible to the
ST as ATARI says. It is clear that
PRG's with the border-trick and sync-
scolling are not runnig but also many
other Games are not running (I have
tested Epic, good old Elite, Fire and
Ice, Bat 2 and some more.., of course
the orginals!) no one of this games
were running. Most of the professional
Prg's are running (I tested Calamus,
Cubase and some more) and I think all
other will run too.
[No more talking about the FALCON.
[No more time...
[Please:
[BUY ONE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
[or buy two...
