2606.0. "FALCON F-16: Holy Afterburners!" by CARTUN::BELL () Mon May 29 1989 17:16

    FALCON is awesome.  I just picked it up and it's the fastest refresh
    rate I've ever seen.  Plus its game capabilities and degree of depth is
    far beyond any other jet simulation.  Wow!  If you haven't been
    impressed by fighter games, go out and sample it.  Quite the amazing
    piece of software.

    Yeah, and it goes even faster with my 16 MHz CMI accelerator.  Now, if
    only they'd fix it to run with an '020 all these 32 bit yuppies could
    gloat...

    PS:  There's already an 80+ reply topic dedicated to Falcon.
    
2606.2CMI Fixed ?ADOMV1::MCGHIETue May 30 1989 02:317
    Hey Ed,
    
    did CMI fix the DMA problem finally ? (or has this been covered
    in the original CMI note?)
    
    regards

2606.3not really...LEDS::ACCIARDITue May 30 1989 09:149
    
    They claim they have, but they still haven't sent me their beta board
    yet.
    
    On unprotected games, I just slip the command that kicks the board into
    high speed into the startup sequence and boot from a floppy.  As long I
    don't access the HD everything works fine.
