Is anyone at Commodore developping a method to use AMIGAs serial port from the PC side? At the SYSTEMS fair Commodore people told me they abandoned this project, because it's easy to plug in a card into a free PC slot (I don't think this is a phantastic argument...). 2. Is there any way to use the AMIGA-mouse as a PC mouse (I heard Commodore is also working on that)? I would like to run MS-WINDOWS and prefer mouse to keyboard interface. If 2. doesn't work generally, maybe someone is writing a message based AMIGA driver set for WINDOWS not just emulating the CGA but using a 640x200 (or 640x256 PAL) resolution with 32 colours and mouse support. (But even mouse support for a CGA-screen would be fine...) Don't flame me why I'm still using MS-WINDOWS. I think it's quite a good package for IBM's and clones and we're also using those.
