- Re my statement and 24/100...
-
- There is a boot up option on the A1200 which disables the extra chips (eg AA etc)
- and so this apparently increases compatibility dramatically. One of the Amiga
- magazines got a 40% compatability with old games and 90% for games < 1yr old.
-
- I'll still get a Falcon, but we need to get correct info on the opposition if we
- want to beat them!
-
- David.
