- 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...
