Not sure why
this comment came out - the original conversation was specifically
about machines capable of running ImageDisk, which would imply PCs. I'm
Simple :
Several of us (including myself) don't have space to set up another
machine, like a modern PC. You suggested a KVM switch. As I understand
it, this is a device that switches a single keyboard, monitor and mouse
between 2 machines.
But I never suggested a KVM switch in response to anything you posted!
Nor did I suggest a KVM switch in response anyone else posting about
problems finding space for "classic" machines.
The thread I responded to was from someone who was lamenting not having
room to setup "another PC" for ImageDisk because he had several PCs
and monitors already on his desk (At least from his descriptions of them and
their uses, it seemed evident that at least some of them were PCs). I suggested
hard drive carriers and a KVM switch as possible alternatives to setting up another
PC, and as ways to reduce the space taken by monitors FOR HIS MULTIPLE PCs.
Is there a new rule in cctalk that responses to specific questions/problems must
now be applicable to every possible machine that someone on the list uses? If
so, I think this is going to severely limit the suggestions we can offer.
