Re my statement and 24/100...

There is a boot up option on the A1200 which disables the extra chips (eg AA etc)
and so this apparently increases compatibility dramatically. One of the Amiga
magazines got a 40% compatability with old games and 90% for games < 1yr old.

I'll still get a Falcon, but we need to get correct info on the opposition if we
want to beat them!

David.
