BELKIN Components (search the web) makes several switch boxes.
I have used briefly their OmniView PS/2, which enables to connect
4 computers to 1 set of mouse/keyboard/monitor. The switching is
via button on he box or keyboard hot key. All computers can be
rebooted individually with no problems (they each are presented
with proper terminations to assume real hardware is connected).
For 2 computers and best video quality I used a dual input
monitor
(BNC and D connector) and used the monitor switch to change
displays. It is a bit more tedious to do so, but does NOT
compromise
display quality and does not require expensive video cables.

Subject: Re: One Screen Two Computers
List:
Does anyone have any knowledge or experience with a switch box
that
would allow you to have one screen connected to two computers?
What I would like to do is have one computer dedicated to TS with
two
graphics cards and one dedicated to all other operations, eg
internet,
wordprocessing etc.
Since I only have room for two monitors, I would like to switch
one
monitor from the TS computer to the other computer so I could go
onto
the internet or any other application.
Can anyone make a suggestion?
