I am looking to link the following two computers to one
Monitor/Keyboard/Mouse:
Computer 1:
Mac G4
OS 9.0.4
Fully USB
VGA Video port
and
Computer 2:
Mac G3 Tower (Beige)
YDL Champion Server 1.2
Serial Ports (no USB)
Mac Video Port (the old style)
with
(1) USB Keyboard
(1) USB Wacom Mouse/Tablet/Pen Combo
(1) Palm IIIe Cradle
I am ready to buy the following but I want to see if anyone knows if it will
or will not work...
IOGEAR MiniView USB KVM Switch (2-port)
-Has (4) USB ports to connect devices
-Has (1) VGA Video port to connect to Monitor
-Has (2) VGA Video ports to connect to each computer
-Has (2) USB ports to connect to each computer
IOGEAR USB PCI Card G-2XC01
-Has 2 USB Ports
Any Mac Video to VGA Adapter
I can get one from the computer people I work with here at school.
Does anyone know if the USB card would be acceptable to YDL?
Would I need anything special to use the USB Ports?
Is USB even supported?
Anyone with some input would be greatly appreciated!
Thanks,
