www.computerlink.co.nz could be better as it includes everything you need. and it's automatic. I realise it's dearer than you want to spend. But it's worth saving up.

92292 2002-10-24 00:17:00 I use the DSE auto KVM switch. Its very good, and saves multiple monitors, mice and keyboards.

Remember though, you need to use PS2 connected mouse and keyboard, it wont work with USB ones.

It doesnt seem to like wireless mouse either.

92293 2002-10-24 00:18:00 If the two are networked, setup sharing of the printer on one of them.... Me thinks that'd be a bit cheaper and easier... Dunno though. Sharing of a printer is dead simple if the two are already networked mind you! Chilling_Silence (9)

92298 2002-10-24 02:06:00 Why don't you just stick the other hard drive in the fastest computer, and have a boot up menu, which you can then decide from their which system is loaded up.
It will cost you $0

92299 2002-10-24 02:32:00 Go for the expensive Auto switch instead of the cheapo manual ones as the auto one last much much longer and with the manual one, the keyboard and mice might drop off (ie. when u switch back, the mice and keyboard doesn't work) during switching .. mashimaro (2168)
