Correct. I believe a second or two after you see the OS boot up screen (not the happy mac) you can switch it. After that the mac doesn't care about the sense lines any more. >and you went on to talk about the belkin ADB KVM because it's just as >nuts to have a keyboard and a mouse for every single mac on that >countertop, too.... >oy, don't I know it.... Yes, I had a generic manual 4-port HDB-15 switchbox (pc vga, three lines of five) hooked up to a mac and three pc's and each of them had their own peripherals. I decided soon thereafter to buy a Belkin! My faves are the big old metal ones with the PS/2 AND serial ports because they have a RJ-11 port (telephone jack) on the side that allows you to attach a foot pedal to use as a switch instead pressing the button on the box, or some dumb key combo. I have two of them cascaded, and I have another one waiting to be hooked up. If you want cheap hook-up cables, go to www.cnaweb.com. I love those guys. >and I can stack the IIfx's and stack the IIsi and the LCIII, to no harm >as far as heat buildup or air movement? I don't believe so. Just be careful. If possible stack them on their sides, power-supply side up. Usually the PS is what creates the most heat. _________________________________________________________________ Surf the Web without missing calls!
