Basically, the DSP makes the machine.  If programs are written right, the
'030 should basically only be used for the interface.  The DSP provides so
much extra power it would be rediculous not to put it to use.  Also, it
will be easy to hook up an external floppy via the SCSI2 port.  

Just out of curiosity...  how much does the fact that the Falcon has a
68030 at 16 MHz instead of a 68EC020 at 14.? MHz counter the fact that the
1200 has a 32 bit bus instead of 16/24?
