- I recently received a couple phone calls from members of the
- ST group I used to belong to in New Hampshire. The Falcon had
- been demonstrated at the monthly meeting and needless to say
- every I spoke with was extremely impressed.
-
- Frank Palowski, creator of OutBurST, demonstrated his FALCON
- 030 to the Nashua Area ST Users Society, NASTUS. Frank
- demonstrated the bundled software and a few of ST programs.
- The two people I spoke with were amazed at the performance.
- One of the people I spoke with owns a TT with 4meg of ST ram
- and said he felt the Falcon was the equivalent of his TT, running
- PageStream in 640x480 with 16 colours. Franks system has 14mb/65megHd.
-
- Frank did not demonstrate Multi-Tos, no reason given.
-
- From what I know of 68030 implementations and what I've read
- here, and from Atari on the Falcon, the performance reports
- are about what I expected.
-
- Another good sign is that developers like Frank have Falcons. There
- have been lots of complaints, here and on GEnie, about developers not
- being able to get Falcons.
