  Thanks, Zot. I want to run two linux boxes (RH 7.3 and Slack 9.0) for a
while; not permanently.

  When I googled for information I saw most models are three pairs of cables
with a single connector on the other end. I suppose the monitor, keyboard
and mouse plug into the big connector, then the two (that's what I was
looking for) pairs of connectors go to each machine.

  Your setup looks much more complex.
