Interesting..

How about a good 2-way KVM and a second PC?
kvm? i assume that is some type of monitor, if it is when the original monitor dies then yep but until then a standard vga monitor switch is the go.

sorry for my ignorance if i am wrong. LOL

Sorry, nerd slang for a KVM switch.  Allows two PC's to run from the one set of inputs & output (ie 1 keyboard/mouse/monitor between two computers).  Just flick a button to change.

as far the 2 pc's go with the selector switch, you would have no chance of any damage to the original setup

cool. but the only thing that we need to switch is the monitor.  we can buy an off the shelf monitor input switch.
but thanks for your input re the kvm  ^^^

I would love to see the pinny that made money for 30 years onsite.  ^^^

Was it still in decent nick when it came offsite or was the playfield trashed ?  !@#

GTB Sky Jump, King Pin and WMS Dig Deal were on location until 1998 ! Still making money.

My dream has always been to restore 20 EMs and have an old fashioned "Pinny Parlour" setup with 10 cents a game.

Big Deal was mylared and the playfield was perfect - There's a restore thread here - http://aussiepinball.com/index.php?topic=645.0

King Pin was restored 10 years ago an sold

Sky Jump is still in my collection and is reconditioned, but I will have Gavin touch up the playfield and clearcoat it.. one day !

It would really depend on the setup.

If its just a standard VGA cable from the monitor to the PC, and USB or PS2 keyb and mouse, then there is no reason why it would.

If its running something different then I probably wouldn't.  The KVM's are quite simple and share different computers between 1 keyboard and mouse.

On my desk at work, I'm running a MacBook Pro, 1 x HP laptop and 2 x other PC's all via a KVM to 1 x screen & keyb.
