From: curlandm@prism.CS.ORST.EDU (Matt Curland) Subject: Connecting 2 computers in parallel Message-ID: <1991May19.042746.9784@lynx.CS.ORST.EDU> Lines: several Sender: @lynx.CS.ORST.EDU Nntp-Posting-Host: prism.cs.orst.edu Organization: Oregon State University, Computer Science Dept. Date: Sun, 19 May 91 04:27:46 GMT I hope this isn't too stupid a question: How do I go about connecting 2 computers to one common keyboard and monitor, so I can have each dedicated to particular tasks, eg, one would contain a database of information while the other is dedicated to running application programs. Both systems are 286's. If it *is* a stupid question, and you'd like to throw some flames, my address is /dev/null. Thanks for any help you can offer, Matt Curland.. . . . . . . curlandm@prism.cs.orst.edu _____________________________________________________________________________
