Well here's an idea for a nice feature. As part of the Hombre package I've included a little proggy called netkeys. It's a server for DNet - a link-up package by Matt Dillon. It basically lets you use another Amiga's keyboard and mouse as if they were connected to the other machine. With emulation the other Amiga becomes a PC :) And vice versa. You can use your Amiga's mouse and keyboard to control WinUAE. The drawback is that it only works with system friendly apps. Sooo...
Why not include something like this in WinUAE. You would run a server like netkeys and the emulator would intercept the signals via a null-modem link-up (just like with DNet, the only diference being that you can use it with all apps including games). Imagine! A simple, cheap way to use your Amiga joysticks, mouse and keyboard in WinUAE. Response times with 19200 baud are really good. The source code for DNet and netkeys is available so that should make things easier.
What do you think Toni?
