  Newtek shown about a year ago beta version of remote control software
  for Windows that let's you remotely network and control an Amiga/Toaster
  from the PC under Windows.. I think they were showing this at a show and
  giving out bottles of Windex and the same time.. 

  You can make an Amiga/Toaster IBM compatible by adding a Vortex 486 
  bridgeboard to it.. This is a PC coprocessor, that will work on a
  separate screen or Window. You can even swap between the toaster 
  switcher and this screen and they will MULTI-PROCESS (work together
  concurrently.. 

  Commodore themselves offer a 386sx bridgeboard which will run this
  way also...

  So, IBM compatibility can be an ADD on for the stand-alone toaster 
  itself as well..
