Okay, I'm replying to myself here.. I've got it working now with Win2k - I was
using the wrong port number, D'oh!
But it is still a bit slow, this is probably due to all the display data being
sent to the Amiga, what would make this better would be a way switch off the
display so that only the input control signals are being sent across the
connection - is there any way to do this?
Cheers.
Why wait until I'm dead to say good things about me?
