If anyone know of the name at least, that would be a big help

Roll the dice to see if diadem is getting drunk!
kvm switch
If you're looking for a 2 port deal and you don't mind losing the use of your Ctrl key for games, they make one that has the cables and all for about $35 to $45.... Double-Tap Ctrl to swap between systems.
Personally I prefer the full sized ones... Double Tap Scroll Lock then hit the number of the system you want... Keeps you from accidentally switching in the middle of a crucial EQ moment. 
i'd use e-bay for this personaly, no reason to get this new. just look at feedback and go with your gut.
edit: probably common sense, but make sure you go with the right type of kvm, especialy of you use usb stuff. [ 08-21-2003: Message edited by: diadem ]

You were using an old analog one. Thoes suck ass and these days tend to cause computers to lock up.
The 'current' generation of them are all digital and support good resolutions and refresh rates. 
Last time I saw an analog KVM switch was when I was taking it apart. Lots of wires in there.
