Default 2 Power-Mac\'s on 1 Apple Studio Display?

Is it possible to use, although not simultaneously, one Apple Studio TFT Display for two Quicksilver G4 Power-Mac's. How?

I'm not sure what kind of connection your monitor makes to the CPU (VGA?), but you should try looking at a KVM (Keyboard, Video, Mouse) switch, as this would allow you to move your monitor and all USB peripherals from one CPU to another at the flip of a switch...

I got one a couple months ago so that I could share my large monitor, keyboard, mouse, MIDI interface, and computer soundcard audio between my G4 dual 450 and my Powerbook- I have nothing but good things to say about the setup...

You can get an adapter that changes that connection to VGA- I got one with my Powerbook, which has the same video connection as your studio display...

CPU-->Adapter-->KVM switch-->Monitor.

The Iogear gcs602 does the trick, but it's way too expensive!
