You can do this with a simple manual printer switch box, a couple of 25 pin
plugs a 25 ping socket and some 15pin plugs and sockets for the video end.
Just wire up three cables
one with 25 pin Male to 15 pin VGA
two with 25 pin Female to 15 pin VGA
If you wire ping 1-15 on the VGA plugs to 1-15 on the 25pin plugs/sockets
you can also use the extra pins on the 25pin to switch a keyboard (again all
pins straight through)
The only thing you have to watch is the length of the cables, if they are
two long you can get ghosting on the monitor.
Make sure the Printer Switch switches all 25 lines
Hope this helps :)
