[Ham-Computers] Two Computers - One Monitor. Will it work

[Dave 'Doc' Corio]

     I realize the monitor isn't "required", but it's the monitor I'm 
concerned about, not the computers. The monitor switches automatically, 
depending on which signal is received. I just wanted to be sure having 
two cables connected wouldn't cause a problem.

Tnx es 73
