Monitor question

david65 · 12-30-2003, 04:18 PM

I have 2 desktops but was wondering if or how I could use just one monitor. I would not run both computers at the same time. Is there any special cord splitter that would tap from two computers into one monitor screen.

Check out Belkin's KVM switches.

Hey thanks,

I just realized that I also was wondering about if one keyboard could also connect to two computers. I am not too sharp yet and I could seach the great link you showed me for one hour and a week and still probably not find what I am looking for. Steven - thanks for the geek link on the video capture site. I can ask away there too. I guess some are more gifted with computers, thank the Lord.

This allows one keyboard to operate both systems.

Also, look at this one as well.

That one looks like it can connect 4 computers and it's cheaper too. I am inspired by this and with determination will try to allocate my schedule to doing better with the computer thing. Thanks a bunch. Just keep prayng for me or it, he he...

Yeah, A KVM will do that. I'd go with one with a manual switch vs digital (have both) as it seems to work a bit better. I've got 4 machines chained to 1 monitor / kb/ mouse in my "office". That way I can look into each machine without doing the keyboard shuffle.
