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.
