This leads me to two questions: how compatible is the TT with the ST in
terms of commercial software, say: Flight simulator and PC Ditto I?
The second question is, how great a performance improvement does the TT
provide over the ST. For example: how much faster does the display replot in
Flight simulator; what is the Norton SI rating for PC Ditto I?

Inquiring minds want to know!
