I would like to use one monitor on 2 pc's, one running WIN ME and the other WIN98. Room space is the issue for doing this. Is there an A/B type switch out there or can I accomplish this by networking them? What would you recommend? Any ideas?
Sorry, I didn't read down the page, there is a similar topic posted. What about this VGA switch? Does it work ok? And what is the cost?
