KVM switch

Post by Coxsider »

Does such a thing as a KVM switch that would work with an Atari ST and a Linux PC exist?

Any info would be greatfully received...

I'm sure I've heard of KVM on the ST.. I think it slowed the ports down and prevented PeST from working.

I'd expect that if you had an Eiffel it would probably work ok using PS2 adapters and a PS2 kbd/mouse combo, though I have no experience so couldn't say 100%. In terms of video only, I use a cheap 2 position video switch that works just fine.
