- ***
- it's not sure that 1meg Falcons will ever apear! (think of the 130ST)

- RIGHT
-
- |> Does (will) MultiTos (I won't buy a Falcon till it comes with MultiTos)

- |> How about ISO9660.XFS for CD-roms?
- |> I've heard rumours that the Falcon will be CD-I compatible; compatible

- |> at home ? Or just enough to read the disks ?
- |> Proper support for Minix-type filesystems (ie backups and fileselector)?
-
- it;s worked on the CD- ROM,Phot .. support. I which way it'll be included isn't
- known up to now
-
- |> Does the Falcon's SCSI-2 support `fast SCSI-2' ?
- |> Can I mix'n'match SCSI and SCSI-2 devices with no speed penalty.
- |> I think to use `fast SCSI-2', all devices must be `fast' (synchronous ?)
-
- no it's only a SCSI-2 plug but a SCSI-1 bus (like the NeXT)
