[RESOLVED] Need some sort of 'Y' cable (mini-DIN 8 pin)

We have two desktop PC's and one monitor. We only want to use one keyboard and one mouse. Both PC's have mini-DIN 8 pin ports for the mouse and the keyboard.

We have a monitor that accepts both analog and digital cabling and the PC's have one of each so we have the monitor figured out.

Is there a 'Y' cable or a device (switchbox?) that we can use for the one keyboard and one mouse?

Thanks!
Nancy

You're talking about a KVM.

They have a bunch at Newegg and different retailers. Some also include audio, but that's for you to decide.

So you know what it is.

I use one with my computers, but make sure the cables comes with it as the can be a $$$$ extra item.

Patience--In the small city in which I live there are several companies that make specialty cables. If time is important, you might want to check out what is available where you live.

Hi All,
Best of all - my company had a Linksys KVM for my keyboard and mouse so I'm cookin' with gas!

Thank you all,
Nancy
