>1)  Is there a program that can set the PC's clock by reading the Amiga's?

     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.

     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.
