I remember back in the day I had my PC and amiga linked, probably via a serial cable, and was able to use the Amiga as an input device. I seem to remember running a piece of software on the Amiga and using it as a virtual keyboard. I may be way off base, it was a long time ago. It was probably a feature of the Siamese System.
 
Anyway my question is, Is anyone doing this, and is it possible to share say the joystick and mouse to?



Yes, I am.
I remote control the XP-PC underneath my desk via a registered version of RDesktop from my A4000PPC with OS 3.9.

Currently I'm a little bit confused, as Aminet just seems to have versions for OS4 - appearently no longer a version for OS 3.x.

I just mailed Darren Eveland and asked him if the RDesktop version for OS 3.x is no longer available.
All the best,

Dandy
