They're called KVM boxes. Belkin makes em but they can be expensive.

KVM = keyboard-video-mouse switch

Some USB only ones are out now, checking in at under $100. See Project Jukebox below.

those things are cool, at Caltech the secretary lady for the tours had an Athlon box running win2k on one switch, and an Apple G4 on the other - pretty badass if ya ask me. She just hit em to go back and forth.

like to relive the glory days? I put it on my Dell Dimension XPS M200 when I got that 3 years ago in Feb 1997, and man win 3.1 ran fast!! - but I wonder how it would deal with AGP and some of the new hardware - and network cards. I used to be an expert at DOS/Windows 3.1 - Trumpet Winsock babyee!
