A letter was posted in which a user was having bombs with Falcon and
was upset at the 'quality' of that Spectrum product.
I have Falcon and am using it on my Mega. I have had no problem with
getting to use it on my machine. I did have a problem in that part of
my manual was slashed. I wrote Spectrum, mailing my old manual in. Within
two weeks after my mailing, a letter of apology was written to me and a
new manual was in the envelope.
Regarding the bombs that the user mentioned, I've had none. However,
assuming that the Falcon disk of his is not corrupted as a result of the
disk duplication service that Spectrum contracts, it could be a problem of
his machine.
My Mega2 had a problem of erratic crashes on especially involved programs.
My dealer analyzed the machine and said that I had two 'weak' ram drivers,
whatever those are. He replaced the two chips and I haven't had any problem
since.
Regarding not being able to load Falcon onto a hard drive, I'll
agree with any complaints in that regard. I hate it. Captain Blood
and Dungeon Master are also equally guilty. I detest waiting minutes
for a game to load when I have a hard drive with the space available
to use.
Don't know if this feedback is of any help or not...
