ADB Unplugged <http://www.frozenheads.com/page/adb_unplugged> A KVM box would be useful in your situation + ADB Unplugged [or similar utility]. I have a similar situation with a Q700 and Q650 sharing the same monitor, keyboard and mouse. I use an el-cheapo manual switch box for a PC, got Mac ADB to PC serial leads made up and use 2 cable leads from old Mac 15" multiscans which go from Macs to switch box [no dip-switch dongle required with these] and a generic PC 15" multisync for the display. works great, but still need the ADB Unplugged utility because the interupted power locks mouse up when switching. Note about the Apple 15" display cables; I think these were only available for sale outside the US as seperate cables from the monitor. Mike -- Quadlist is sponsored by <http://lowendmac.com/> and...
