Thanks Lee but that wouldn't work as no way to conveniently switch systems. A KVM switch box is the way forward.

Hi Carr

KVM Switches should be able to help
http://www.kvmswitchdirect.co.uk/

http://www.datapro.net/products/dvi-kvm-switch-with-ps2-2-cpu.html

The second website is probably the product you want but is from the American
website. I can't see it on the UK website but if you ring them - or your
client rings them - they should be able to help.

Thanks

Subject: [OCC-HEALTH] Ergonomic technical conundrum

Hello all

I have an employee who works off two separate desktop CPUs with two
keyboards and two monitors alternating between the two at irregular
intervals ranging from every 10-15 seconds to every 10-15 minutes.

She is sitting at a curved desk (designed for one) and tends to align
herself towards one desktop and twist to the one to her left which,
due to space issues and desk curve, is over a foot away from her. Her
chair is also out of the ark.

I am going to address the chair and desk however I am stuck on the
CPUs issue as each one is running a different software system and the
two softwares CANNOT BE LOADED ONTO THE ONE CPU (sorry for caps but
this is an important point and I have no text formating function on
this gmail version).

Ideally I would get a split monitor arm to position the two monitors
centrally in front of her and stack the CPUs under the desk to clear
desk space (lots of paperwork). She also needs a document holder.

My block is that currently two keyboards are used; is there anyway to
hook a single keyboard up to work with two different CPUs that would
allow her to switch to the other CPU at a keystroke?

Anyone had to deal with anything similar and come up with a good
workable solution?

Fingers crossed

Carr
