- The memory in the Falcon is in fact 32 bit. The 68030 has 16 bit
- access, but the Video system has 32 bit access, as I believe do other

- Is the D2D hard disk system actually going to be bundled with the Falcon?
- According to one of the (notoriously unreliable) UK ST magazines, it was
- going to be sold seperatley. Anybody know for sure?
