Falcon 2.2 has just been announced. It will run on a 68030 Mac. I believe
the upgrade involves sending in Falcon Disk 2 and $3.00 to Spectrum
Holobyte. You might give them another call and get the exact details on
the upgrade. It also contains some bug fixes of interest to all current
Falcon pilots.
