Here's a tip for Falcon owners who have a Hurricane 2800 accelerator or any other type which requires you to run a configuration program to turn on caches, etc. If you just boot Falcon on the '030, the Hurricane card won't use its 32 bit mem, nor will it use both I and D caches. However, you *can* copy HurricaneConfig (or whatever) to the Falcon boot disk, and modify the startup-sequence to run it. This helps immensly. Just be sure you don't do this to the original disk! - steve PS - for those asking about the 2nd mission disk, you should receive a pamphlet in the mail about it. It is pretty cheap; I think they wanted $15 or $18 for it, or $25 for both mission disks 1 and 2. I sent in my order a few days ago. PPS - Seems that SH could make some serious $$ now by releasing an Iraq mission disk :-)
