Interesting article, I will read it through later. Falcon is a nice computer, spec wise, but I can't understand why Atari opted for a 16bit wide data bus. Why? Where they really that desperate to save a few microcent on copper tracks? It's 1992. Even PC were up to 32 bit standard by then. With a full 32 bit bus this would have been a serious competitor for A1200, especially with that sound system. And despite the graphics.


With a full 32 bit bus it would have left the A1200 for dust ;)

I actually had an STFM when they announced the Falcon, I remember reading in the Atari mags of the time about how Atari were struggling to get some units to retail before the company folded....sad times.
Life begins at 100 MIPS!


Nice Ports on AmiNet!
