Ohhhhhh...it took me a while to get why you were discussing ADB KVM boxes. 'Doah!' ok, so as long as I have the switch set to the monitor at boot up, it 'sees' the monitor at preflight check time and knows to put out video. then if I want to boot another machine after i have the first one running, it doesnt affect the first one when i switch over to the next machine and boot it, which will also 'see' that it has a monitor and will boot outputting video also. so after that point, I can switch viewing the display back and forth, from machine A to B ,and each will be putting out video, and the monitor will show the display from either one, as I move the selector back and forth.?
and you went on to talk about the belkin ADB KVM because it's just as nuts to have a keyboard and a mouse for every single mac on that countertop, too.... oy, don't I know it.... and I can stack the IIfx's and stack the IIsi and the LCIII, to no harm as far as heat buildup or air movement? janet http://community.webtv.net/mensabrains/BADCODE http://www.anybrowser.org -- Vintage Macs is sponsored by <http://lowendmac.com/> and...
