| ADB switch / KVM | |
| Posted by: GerhardNL on 2022-03-12 12:33:07 Hello fellow yellow Mac lovers, I’d like to consult the community for a topic I try to get my head around for quite some time. On (or actually below) my desk I have multiple Macs. For lack of space reasons, I prefer to have 1 screen, mouse and keyboard. Preferrably without swapping cables all the time. I know in the past there were multiple solutions to switch the adb, like Dr Botts Moniswitch, but they are impossible to find anymore. I lack the skills to solder a solution myself. I’m now thinking of buying multiple usb/adb wombats, and link them to a vga/usb kvm switch. It would be super expensive, but I guess it works. But then there’s the point of hot swapping adb. I guess that the off-the-shelf solitions like Moniswitch didn’t destroy the adb bus. But would the same go for a solition like the above! Glad to hear any suggestions that would help me to solve this! | |
