With the Amiga emulation of the Microsoft serial mouse
under Janus 2.0 (which I do not have) would I have access
to the mouse cursor in the PC window while using a video
card (VGA) in one of the bridge slots with a separate
monitor? Or will it only be accessible in the PC window
from the Amiga monitor?
On a related note, what are the complications in having the
Bridgeboard emulate one of the higher PC resolutions. EGA
should fit within a 640x400 screen. Other than transfering
files I have yet to discover any practical use for the
bridgeboard's CGA. It has long been abandoned. Even EGA has
been orphaned by IBM.
