Why be skeptical when there are at least two(2) ways that the
Amiga could control it.  One is to use a mouse port like NewTek
already does with their Digi-Droid (with a little motor that turns
the colo{,u}r wheel).  The other would be to put an addition
little box on the parallel port between the Amiga and the original
Digi-View.  This box could perform the switching/filtering/what-
have-you to produce the colo{,u}r separation.

Know NewTek they'll probably come out with the third method. :-)
