1 - I cannot format 720 k MFS floppies with DCFormat 3.02, for transverting
    (I always get a disk error);
--------------------------------

That portion of the code in DCFormat may not work correctly with the TT.
Try formmating MFS disks in Spectre.

--------------------------------
2 - I cannot get a full A3 Mac screen - the Mac does run on a 1280x800 screen,
    but it gives me 2 "squished" (and illegible) screens, side by side. In ST
--------------------------------

Unfortunately, Spectre does not support really big screens or color or any
other special features of the TT's enhanced video or Crazy Dots for that
matter! The reason for the screens has to do with the way Dave programmed it
but he may allow larger BW screens in the next version of the software.
Color support will more than likely be for the Falcon only since Dave has
to plough through the 512k Roms to get color out, although I suppose
Dave could make a 16 color version for the TT but that is unlikely since
the Falcon Spectre works of the internal bus of the Falcon (this is because
you just can't use 512k Roms off the Cart port because it only supports
128k of addressing!).

Hope that helps!
