Atari Falcon is it what the A1200 should have been?

[NovaCoder]

I was an STFM owner when the Falcon was announced and it looked like a geat machine for the time.  Unfortunatly Atari were going a bit crazy then and kept changing the specs and the colour of the case.  I seem to remember that they downgraded the CPU interfaces from 32bit to 16bit just before release (cost cutting exercise).

Did it also do native chunky..I can't remember?

face off

It's an impressive machine. I own two!

It as a 68030/16MHz
16-bit color RGB and VGA capable!
IDE port (like 1200)
SCSI 2 external!
14MB internal RAM upgrade, (3rd party upgrades up to a 100MHz 060 avail!)
ST and TT RAM capable (Kinda like Chip/Fast)
compatible with earlier ST games but the 030 killed good compat.  (There are degrade utils to help though)

The OS sucks though!  TOS 4 was horrible compared to Amiga OS.
