Has anyone been able to get Falcon or FalconMission or run properly on 
a 3000. If I run either one under 1.3 from floppy disk the game boots
all the way to the takeoff/cockpit. However, at this point the keyboard seems
to be de-activated, no input is accepted, but the animation seems to be
running (MIG's fly by). If I run under 1.3 from hard drive, it gives the
opening title screen and music, then loads some more and just stops on
a black screen. The best I can do is booting FalconMission from the hard
drive under 2.0. The game boots and runs fine, until you hit <esc> to 
pause the game or end the mission. Then the system slows WAAAYYY down,
the mouse pointer barely moves and you can't make any menu selections.
Within a minute the screen goes haywire and the machine crashes. So
I can play, but I'm not able to continue missions or get a score at all.

Has anyone been able to get it to run? I called Spectrum Holobyte, but the
guy I spoke to seemed like he had never been contacted by anyone who had
tried to run the games on a 3000.

Any help would be excepted.
