Four questions on the A2088 which I would appreciate answers to if poss:
1) Is there a program that can set the PC's clock by reading the Amiga's?
2) Any utility to allow the Amiga mouse emulate a PC microsoft one?
3) Does the Microsoft Mach20 speedup card work with the A2088. If no one
is sure can I damage anything by plugging it in?
4) Anything like LPT1 that would allow the Amiga's RS-232 emulate COM1?
Finally an APPROX release date for Janus 2.0 s/w would be appreciated and
will screen updates be quicker? Or rather LESS SLOW!sneakers@heimat.UUCP (Dan "Sneakers" Schein) (02/05/89)

I wrote one (back when I was @ CATS fooling with Janus) and it worked fine. But due to agreements with CBM I can not release it. However the new 2.0 Janus software will solve this problem in a very nice and (if I may say) professional manner. >2) Any utility to allow the Amiga mouse emulate a PC microsoft one? Again there is such software, and yes it works geat. But like setting your clock, it wont be available till Janus 2.0 is released. >3) Does the Microsoft Mach20 speedup card work with the A2088. If no one > is sure can I damage anything by plugging it in? Never tried one. Don't think it will blow anything out, but its your boards and $$$, not mine. >4) Anything like LPT1 that would allow the Amiga's RS-232 emulate COM1? No. Simply buy a cheap (IE: < $50) serial card and your off! >Finally an APPROX release date for Janus 2.0 s/w would be appreciated and Sorry in not the person to answer this one. >will screen updates be quicker? Or rather LESS SLOW! Look about the same to me. Slow is slow.
