- Don't you think beta testers aren't working on the CBM prototypes right now
- too?
- (besides lots of people worked on the now stopped atari console jaguar...)
- A machine do not exist till it is released.
-
- The Falcon IS vaporware. A prototype on an expo booth doesnt count either :-)

- the same goes with lots of things in the falcon... Seems to be a gigantic hack.
- For sound, you will have 3 ways to do it: liek ST, STe, or new modes...
- beside the "multi-tasking" OS is just a joke... just a public domain OS hack
- incorporated into the OS (I know I had a ST before)
-
- But, I too think that CBM is WAY (too?) late... I was planning to buy a new
- model in january 1992, since rumors then told they were to be sold then :-(
