KVM switch for mac mini & G4

Dec 7, 2006 10:35PM PST

I'm about to get myself a mac mini. I currently use an old G4 powermac with the monitor and keyboard that came with it (VGA connector for monitor, USB for keyboard). I'm looking for a solution that would enable me to switch effortlessly from one system to the other while using one keyboard and monitor. I've read about the Belkin kvm switch2 for macmini which sounds pretty much tailor made for my requirements, having said that I'd quite like to be able to run my ibook from the monitor too so perhaps a 3 way KVM adaptor would be better. I'd be interested to know if there are any better solutions out there before I make my mind up. Any suggestions would be well received.

Thanks
