actually I dont have anything for the falcon.  I have EVERYTHING on the 
little MEGA 4 and it has ICD disk i/o.  I really cant upgrade, because 
when I tried to I LOST  75% of everything on my two quantum 105p's.  I 
futz with ICD and try to figure out how to get ATARI MINIX working on 
the MEGA 4.   but I cannot partician or format the falcon -- no software.
