I'm really pleased to announce that MKShare is finaly ready for public release and available to download from AmiStore for just £5.00 (plus VAT).
http://www.broad.ology.org.uk/amiga/mkshare/ (http://www.broad.ology.org.uk/amiga/mkshare/)
MKShare enables you to seamlessly share your mouse, keyboard and clipboard between several AmigaOS computers, reducing desk clutter and avoiding the need for KVM switches which are often reported problematic with Amiga based systems.
For your £5.00 you will get the MKShareServer which runs on the central computer with the mouse and keyboard attached and the MKShareClient with runs on up to 4 client computers. As additional bonus you get a FREE MKShareClient68k which enable you to control an a1200 with networking or perhaps a WinUAE based amiga too.
Unlike systems like synergy a low level protocol is used that mimics the behaviours of input device with packets closely matched to the underlying event messages, giving a smooth amigalike feeeling to the remote mouse. You can hardly tell it not a 'real mouse'. In most cases lag is minimal, the exception being when the server of client are under very heavy CPU mode.

I've been using MKShare between my SAM Flex and my X1K and it honestly feels like one machine with two monitors!
MKShare also has the abilty to reconnect if the client of server is rebooted

Thank again Andy for the great contributions to the Amiga. Great Job :)

I will buy this! I plan on controlling my A1200 from my X1k.
Limited desk Space stops me from having the A1200 set up. Now I hope to have the A1200 stashed sideways ;)

Perhaps you missed this part, " As additional bonus you get a FREE MKShareClient68k which enable you to control an a1200 with networking "

Yes, the 68k client seems like a winner for me!
Although I do question whether control from the X1k server will be maintained on the A1200 in non WB scenarios like games and demos?

ah actually I did miss that as I thought it was only for OS4.1 PPC machines, awesome if classics and NG's can use one monitor on tight desktop spaces

Will buy and test with Sam440 + A1200 at some point.
