A quick question for all you Amiga experts. I am thinking of buying an Amiga w/ Bridgeboard on the educational discount program. I wish to run applications on the Bridgeboard which require a mouse. Will I be able to use the Amiga mouse, or will I have to hook up an IBM mouse to the system? *Can* I hook up an IBM mouse to the system? Thanks in advance, Bill Oliver

The Janus (BridgeBoard control software) 2.0 release includes mouse emulation on the PC side using the Amiga mouse. It is also possible if you insist to connect an IBM mouse to the appropriate card plugged into an XT slot, but this hardly makes sense with the new Janus. >Thanks in advance, > > >Bill Oliver Peter -- Peter Cherna, Software Engineer, Commodore-Amiga, Inc. {uunet|rutgers}!cbmvax!peter peter@cbmvax.cbm.commodore.com My opinions do not necessarily represent the opinions of my employer.
