My personal experience is that the only things that don't work are
commercial games.  I have only two commercial games, and neither work.
Bard's Tale I doesn't work, and I expected that, because it is very
obviously a hack.  Falcon doesn't work, and that was more surprising,
because I feel like Falcon is a better-written program.

All my PD stuff works fine except one fractal terrain generator.  I use DME
and VT100 2.9b frequently.  In fact, in some ways they work better on the
3000 than they did on my 1000.  There is a problem with VT100, but I made it
disappear and now I can't remember what it was.

I would say that compatibility could only be expected to be moderate.  If I
had a favorite application, I'd definitely want to verify that it worked
before paying big bucks.
