> Comodore officialy say that 60% of current A500 software works on the A120 > Impressive? I don't think so! Not even that much is expected to work!! > Compo (large german company that develop and sell ST/TT/Falcon software an > hardware addons) have had a thorough test of a large base of existing ST > software to see if it worked on the Falcon 030, and they found that 95% (n > kiddin', ninty-five%) do run! Where'd this info' come from!? I find it rather surprising that 95% compatibility is achieved! (The STE had about that compared to STFM machines... Probably less!). It'd be good - but do we actually get a list of what they tested!? (If it's all serious software, of course it will work, but graphics util's and games are the real test!)
