woah! slow your roll Nick, the cables I baught to go with my 10 quid
switcher
were about 8 quid each, for a VGA & keyboard pair (from DABS). The part
code
in my earlier mail was for a 4 way switcher too.

If you're going to leave the switch in 1 position 99% of the time, then why
bother spending 80 quid on an omnicude?

Also, most BIOS'  have the ability to choose which errors to halt on, so
you
tell it not to bother waiting if it has no keyboard.
