Cary, If you can tolerate manual switching, I could recommend the electronic matrix switch boxes from Black Box. I use five of the 4×8 boxes (ganged) to switch between 8 PCs and 32 printers in my lab. They pass all 25 pins through in both directions without effecting the signals; being electronic they don't pose the same risks that manual switch boxes have (damaging the printers). These are a little pricey, however. They have a 4×4 model (about $500 list, I think) that can switch between any four sources and and any four devices. The 4×8 model lists for about $800. – Dick Minnick [Ford],74417,51 @ 13-May-1995, 23:08:40 EST [Troy, MI]
