My main system's a blue & white G3 running 9.2 and I also use a PC, which is networked to the Mac.
Thinking of buying a new Mac Mini and sharing key,mouse,mon but does anyone here have any experience running both systems sharing perifs via a KVM switch?

yes and it kicks so much behind..i have one that sharer monitor, 4 usb ports, 2 ps/2 ports, and sound in and out...and its blue

The only problem I had is getting confused on what keyboard Im using to type on what computer
(in case that you will use 2 keyboards and 2 mouse..)

cheers meeklo but only planning on using 1 keyboard, 1 mouse, 1 monitor for the 3 systems

there is one more question you need to ask. DVI or VGA display? if DVI is a must
then you need a DVI KVM
Belkin makes some of the best out there:
http://www.cdw.com/shop/products…or if your ok with VGA then get this
http://www.cdw.com/shop/products…rember cables are extra, and make sure you get one that is ALL USB and not PS/2 since mac is only USB

cheers Industry!
Was just thinking about DVI as haven't bought a TFT display yet either. Big question there is: would DVI monitor work with the WIN 95 machine, or does it matter when using a KVM?
