- I'd guess you could run it as a normal Atari MINUS the multitasking
- extensions (which would probably take up the extra meg)...

- Too bad. I think the MegaSTe (and TT) have the best setup - the mouse
- port is VERY conventient (as well as the external keyboard).

- Can be used in which way? There are already programs out there to
- use MAC SND files, either at bootup, or through a "viewer" (listener?).
- Unless the SND files I've used are CONVERTED from MAC files? I know there
- is at least one program where you can associate sounds to keyboard
- presses.

- The only thing I which about the Falcon was that the keyboard was
- external. It's no big deal, but is VERY convenient. Oh well, I guess
- I'll have to wait for the Falcon II :-)
