HiQ Limited are proud to announce the launch and immediate availability 
of the Siamese System for the Amiga range of Computers which creates 
the First fully integrated Multi platform computer system. This system
which uses the flexibility of the Amiga's true Multitasking operating 
system and the low cost of standard Windows 95 based PC's give the user
the potential of fully integrated Amiga / Win95 PC / Macintosh platform
all controlled from one keyboard, mouse and monitor. The benefits are 
obvious in havin  all file sharing between all of the running 
operating systems, text clipboard cut and paste and access to the low 
cost PC components to create a very powerful Multimedia authoring and 
general purpose workstation.
Amiga Owner

From the Amiga owners point of view, the user can run PC software and 
media  from the Amiga's Workbench and use the low cost PC hardware to 
add to the Amiga's abilities, enabling it to play 16 bit sound, Midi 
files, and view high quality digital video, Indeo, Quicktime, Mpeg and 
MJpeg etc. The Siamese software gives the Amiga access to all of the 
PC's disk drives including Floppy, CDrom, etc. Even drives mounted via
a networked machine are available on the Amiga. All of this allows 
programs like Scala on the Amiga which is generally acknowledged as 
the best of its kind, to have even more features added to the standard
Amiga system under its control via Arexx.
