Sorry Kent, it isn't possible to access any PC-memory directly, except
for those parts that are located in the 128K DUAL Port RAM (MDA, CGA,
janus buffers and the PC's CPU ports).

However, it is possible to use service 10 and 11 in the janus software.
These services transfer memory from the Amiga to the PC (vice versa),
using parts of the DUAL Port RAM. However, to use this, some knowledge
about programming the PC/Amiga interface is required.

Hope this helps,
