Boy, as a 1985 Amiga developer, this is the first I've heard. In the early
days there was a Lattice Amiga cross-compiler you could run on the PC, and
download executables to the Amiga over the parallel port. There was also a
cross compiler on the Sun, and a ridiculous, bulky memory add-on called the
"Chimney" which stuck on the side of an A-1000. I'm sure I would have heard
of this "PC-Amiga" if there ever was any such thing.
