Re: KVM with G5 MT iMac
Not quite the same, but - you can VNC to the G5, and control it from the iMac through your network. I use one of my G4s this way. For processes where I don't need to see the screen in real time such as ripping a DVD, then encoding it to move to a TiVo, it's a matter of a few clicks and just letting the remote G4 do its work.

The new 27 iMacs have that two-way display adapter, so it would be a matter of convincing the g5 video out that it's a displayport output. -- Bruce Johnson University of Arizona College of Pharmacy Information Technology Group Institutions do not have opinions, merely customs -- You received this message because you are a member of G-Group, a group for those using G3, G4, and G5 desktop Macs - with a particular focus on Power Macs.
