[q] Monitor keyboard switch box

2005-03-08 Thread Robert W. Davenport
I am setting up four Macs (Quad 800, Quad 840AV, 8600/250, 8600/300) to 
use a common monitor (Gateway 19) and a ADB keyboard  mouse. I have a 
switch box, purchased from the Swap-List of course, that will handle 
the inputs from the four computers. The question is about when you can 
use the switch. Can you turn the switch when the systems are in use 
(two or more CPUs) or do you need to shut down everything to use the 
switch with no power to it? All four computers will be on an ether 
network with a G4 733 Digital.

Hi - my experience is that you can change units while they are running. 
But, it's always been necessary to have the switch set to the machine
which is booting up, so that it'll detect the monitor.  After any and all
of them are up and running, you ought to be able to change units at will.
