KVM switch

G'day, I need a KVM switch so I can jump from my G5 to an HP.

Can anybody recommend something available in Ottawa?

I'm using the aluminum Apple USB keyboard.

It would be sweet if I could also use my current 2 monitor setup.

Cheers

Pretty difficult to find a KVM that supports switching two displays, but you can always leave one permanently attached to one of the computers while you use the other one as the "switcher". Anyway, here's a link to a pretty good KVM:

PC stores are your best source for this type of stuff, though you're better off to do your own research vis-a-vis Mac/PC interoperability - they don't all support it.

Happy Mac'ing!

Thanks for the input guys.

I took the plunge and bought an Iogear 2-port USB switch as it had Mac logo on the box.

Works great!

Now, how do I network the Mac and PC so I can share files? At the moment, I'm using a USB drive for transfers.
