- 25% is an awfully low estimate, I'd say about 80% plus of applications,
- games I'm not sure, all the new ones work... I haven't tried old ones yet,
- nor have I tried stuff like degrader thouhg ;-)

- I stuck a Maxtor 2.5" 85Mb right in, got it going with WB3 and the
- HDTOOLBOX from a 600's install disk. Its been working fine ever since. If
- you really want to see the 1200 at its best, get a multisync, Commodore are
- talking about a new Quad-Sync with stereo speakers built into it - look out
- for that one soon.
