The problem with the AB/Falcon is that it has both ST- and fast-RAM.
Also, TOS needs to be relocated/patched/remapped, so even with a
040/060-aware TOS we still need a TK-driver.

...and hopefully a 060-computer :-) If they release a TOS-upgrade for
the Falcon I will definelately buy a a 060 upgrade-kit and test it in
