Well, I just called Spectrum Holobyte, and I was informed by their
tech support that Falcon WILL run on an A3000, but not under WB2.0.
Currently, the game will only work under 1.3.  In order to do this,
however, you need to have version 1.2 of the Falcon game.

When I asked if they are going to port to WB2.0, they replied "Well,
there are so few A3000 owners out there, and even less 2.0 owners.  Why
would anyone want a 2.0 version?".

Yet another vendor not interested in supporting 2.0, until 99% of
the owners already have the software in ROM...
