| 357418 | 2005-05-22 08:07:00 | I read a thread that talked of a unit called a KVM(????) available at local computer stores . This unit allows two system units to use the same keyboard, mouse and monitor etc . You simply switch on the system units you want to use . I read it and thought what a good idea I will follow that up but I can not find the thread again . ( I hope it was on this site . ) But does anyone know what I am talking about . Please help out as those guys in DSC try to make me feel a fool just because I look like a little old lady . I like to go in well armed . |

| 357421 | 2005-05-22 08:12:00 | Hi Carolyn, Welcome to PressF1 This is the thread here (pressf1.pcworld.co.nz) that discusses the use of a KVM switch. There are different types of KVM switches, and this one here (www.dse.co.nz) at DSE may suit you best. It is a little more expensive than some, but includes all the cables you need as well. It is also is very easy to control and you switch between the two computers by using a keyboard combination hotkey. If you have further questions, please ask. :) [Edit: Hmm ... godfather is very quick, and managed to find the thread and the same KVM unit at DSE I just posted all while I was still typing away :p ] |
