Hey!  A fair comparison at last.  After reading some of the 'information'

I do have one thing to add, and a question.
though.

The memory in the Falcon is in fact 32 bit.  The 68030 has 16 bit
access, but the Video system has 32 bit access, as I believe do other
parts of the Falcons hardware.

Is the D2D hard disk system actually going to be bundled with the Falcon?
According to one of the (notoriously unreliable) UK ST magazines, it was
going to be sold seperatley.  Anybody know for sure?
