Reinhardt:
I have 2 questions/suggestions. First you say you reserve a space on your
HD and use the standard FDISK/FORMAT routine that PC use. Couldn't that
portion of the HD be accessable to the Amiga if you makeup a mountlist for
it using CrossDOS? If so that would eliminate the need for transfer
programs like C='s AREAD & AWRITE. Secondly on your A2000 version is it
possible to make a version of the software for people like myself that will
be using a separate VGA card that wouldn't actually open a separate screen
at all, but would rather work with a hotkey to switch the keyboard over to
the PC side without disturbing the Amiga side at all? This way the program
could be run in the Startup-Sequence and then switching from Amiga to PC
would be a simple hotkey and switch flip. (and the hotkey could switch both
the KB and the mouse unlike C='s need to flip to the BB screen, flip a
switch to get the VGA output, AND hit a hotkey to get the mouse to the PC
side!)
