Reccomend a monitor switcher..

[Karlos]

Hi all,

Having grown sick of swapping cables, I need to see about getting a monitor/keyboard switcher so I can share my (old style PS2) keyboard and SVGA monitor between my Amiga and PC.

I know you can get such a device that responds to a key combination to switch between systems. Does anybody here use a such system between Amiga/PC?

What would you recommend? Being utterly broke just now I don't want to spend more than 30 UKP..

Thanks for any advice,

K

Thanks for the heads up, guys...

To summarise, I run a 19" display at 1600x1200 both on my Amiga and (when I use it) the PC. Whatever I buy (and I prefer something that is remote keyboard activated rather than a switch etc) needs to be able to operate at this resolution.

Looks like I'll need to spend more ;-)

Naw!  I have a Linksys KVM2KIT switch.  The cables from the switch to the computers are integrated into the unit.   It's specs say it can handle upto a 1920x1440 display....

I found it on Amazon UK for 29.99UKP.  See it at this LINK.

Ooh, that sounds like the badger I need. Thanks, I'll check it out. It shares monitor and keyboard though, right?
