Microwire LMC & joypads came only with STE, Videl
with Falcon.  Or should microwire be counted as
part of stereo DMA and joypads as part of IKBD?

Is MFP 2 only for TT, and SCC A+B both for TT & Falcon?

Maybe something like below...

Atari HW configuration matrix
-----------------------------

Table below lists HW features belonging to each Atari machine, except 
for the ones common to all
(FDC, IKBD, MFP, MIDI, PSG, RS-232, Shifter...).

HD interface:

             ST    STe   MegaST  MegaSTE  TT  Falcon

x = Stock machine configuration
[1] Requires EmuTOS or TOS 2.06
[2] Requires EmuTOS or Linux
[3] Add-on, supported since TOS 1.02
[4] Only partial support in Hatari
[5] Hatari patches TT-RAM support to TOS v4.04

(512k version of EmuTOS included with Hatari binary packages supports 
all Atari HW except
for Falcon DSP & HiColor mode.)
