You have to buy a special cable, it has a control point on it with switches to change which computer its linked to.

I'll find a link for you later

[OliverE]

Yer i kinda do that. Say if my mum wants me to go get some milk And she gives me a fiver.
I just keep the change.
Goes towards petrol.

And when i seriously need the money i just sell stuff on ebay.

[AppleDeveloper]

[SGT.Code]

how do you do that then ? is it just strip the cables and put a chocky bloc on them?

 

[AppleDeveloper]

seriously its well hard to explain i done that like 5months ago in my home

 

[SGT.Code]

ok m8 but if it is somthing to do with wiring then pls tell

 

[OliverE]

Pritty much find the connectors in your local hardware store.
2x male
1x female

Get the correct type of wires.

Create a simple switch mech on some proto board, or make a PCB.

Solder it all together, so when you switch its always male to female.

Test and boom
