Remote
« on: March 12, 2016, 02:37:56 AM »
I have a x1000 and a win7 pc. I want to use one monitor, keyboard and mouse for both as I am tight for deck space. I used to have a KVM switch but when I switched to the Amiga it froze nearly every time. I've read about AmiVNC and RealVNC but almost no instructions make these impossible to make it work.

So is there a way to make this work with hardware or software? Cause right now my Amiga is setting idle. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

You might want to look at a Synergy client on OS4. It looks like there is one on OS4Depot here: http://os4depot.net/index.php?function=showfile&file=network/misc/amisynergyc.lha

Synergy, in essence, is a software version of a KVM. It lets you share the keyboard and mouse between multiple machines. You'd still have to swap inputs on your monitor or set up multiple monitors, for which it has additional support.

I know this isn't the answer you're looking for, but how about one monitor with multiple inputs? Most professional monitors have at least 2-3, these days. Then you could use wireless keyboard & mouse, and just toss under the desk whichever you aren't using at the time. ;)
