2 systems, 1 Monitor, keyboard & mouse..........HELP

[Mynzaboxer]

My new system PentIII, 1ghz(WinME) and my old system PentII, 350mhz(Win98) are cabled together so that I can move files from one place to another. I also had this done so that I could play older games (which cannot be played on the new system) on my old system. This is the only reason I have them set up this way. Something I overlooked .....in order to shut down my old system, play games on each, etc., I have to move the monitor , keyboard and mouse cables from one system to the other.

Someone told me that there is some sort of 'switch box' that I can plug the Monitor, keyboard and mouse into that will make it possible (by the use of a switch) to access one system or the other? My newer mouse uses a USB port. Is there such a piece of hardware available? If so what's it called and where's the best place to find one.

Sorry for the ignorance, but hey, I'm good at other things Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks

a kvm switch is what you need and a ps2 adapter for your USB mouse

Some newer KVM switches account for USB. Check out StarView, IOGear, and Belkin for some models.
