Hello,

I have some questions concerning the AMIGA 2000 with JANUS 8088-card.

1. 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.


Thanks for your help
