Hey y'all,
   I've gotten some GOOD news since I posted this plea earlier.  I also
called Spectrum Holobyte and was told the following:
 
	1) version 1.2 does run on the 3000
	2) version 1.1 *should*
	3) there is a but in operation: firefight, free upgrade offered
	   just send in the disk and SH will ship you the new on free
	4) upgrades to version 1.2 from 1.1 cost only the original disk
           #1 of v 1.1 and 5 dollars
	5) mention of an upgrade for operation counterstrike as well

   Since I called SH, I received mail from Dean Brooks (dean@coplex.uucp)
which got Falcon 1.1 to run on my Ami (3000 25/50 6 megs ram and 2.03) 
under workbench 1.3.  As follows:



1.  Installing Falcon onto the hard drive (optional, I guess)
2.  Turn off the memory caching.  (i.e. "cpu nocache" from the CLI)

   I wanted to thank all the people who responded to my question, and
ESPECIALLY Dean for helping me to take to the skies again.....
