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!) -Mike Schiller In sunny Fort Lauderdale
