An extremely fair and balanced article. The Flacon was horribly crippled by its memory bus, but other than that it has the chunky gfx mode, the 16bit audio, a DSP and a 68030 which were all features missing from the Amiga 1200.

The A1200 was good in spite of its design, not because of it.

Don't forget that the Falcon was also horribly crippled by it's SW (read TOS) which allready was in legacy hell as it wasn't really planned for multitasking or HW expansion.


I was going to add the fact that the OS was atrocious was also a downside... But Mint was quite good, even though nothing ran on it... Yeah I should have said crappy 16bit data bus and crappy OS :)
