[G4] Connect one monitor and two macs??

[Russell]

Aaron

I have a Mac G$ 400 and a PC  that run through one Monitor using a Data 
Switch and works   find. The only thing is that I must always start  
the Mac with the switch set to the Mac other wise my monitor needs a 
startup signal to activate it out of sleep. Once the startup screen 
shows up then I can switch to another computer. The Pc will startup 
fine without having to  switch to it... You may have to start on mac 
then after the startup screen is active then switch to the Other Mac 
and start it.
