A friend and I have been thinking about writing just such a program. The only real problem is that you need to install a pseudo graphics device on the Sun that talks to the amiga. We were thinking about creating a pseudo device that you open and then tell it to communicate to the amiga using such and such a serial port. With any luck at all we should be able to optimize the pseudo graphics device to send high level commands to the amiga and therefor get a failry high through put. If anyone out there is working on (thinking about) a simmilar idea I would love to here about it. I think the idea of adding extra low cost color monitor to a Sun may have real potential. -Bret Thaeler -- -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Bret K.
