Black Box Servswitch Duo

Black Box Servswitch Duo ... some high-end IBM PS/2 compatible computers such as IBM RS/6000, Compaq Alpha, and SGI. The Duo makes it possible for two users to independently access a set of attached computers. The 16-port ServSwitch Duo is housed in a full-size 2U-high chassis. You can attach sixteen computers to it.

You can control most of the functions of the ServSwitch Duo through an on-screen display that appears on the users' monitors. This display includes a menu system for easy computer selection and control - users can select computers by name or description instead of having to remember, which port the computer is attached to. If you want to secure your system (and who doesn't?), there are also menus through which the system administrator can allocate access rights to each user on a login basis. The Duo supports up to 16 user profiles and 512 named computers. Users have a wide variety of options for switching between computers: they can use the menu system, front-panel pushbuttons, keyboard hotkey sequences, or a 3-button mouse! And they can select the computers for exclusive use, shared use, or video-only access.
