Hi guys,
I'm looking to connect two computers to the same VGA monitor. I presume I need some kind of split-cable to accomplish this.
The main computer is a SAM440EP with a DVI-port, but I have an adapter that makes it possible to hook it up to a VGA monitor. The other one is an Amiga 1200 with a VGA-connector from an IndivisionAGA card. I also have a laptop I might connect from time to time.
Is it possible to just use a split-cable for this or do I need some kind of switchbox? Would be great if you could help me out on this one.
Thanks in advance for your help.

Thanks for the tip. Is there a significant difference in picture quality between the various models? I'm then thinking of pricing.

Of the KVMs I've used, I've never noticed any particular issues with image quality. Given that VGA is an analogue signal, anything like a switchbox or a long cable is going to cause some signal degradation, but I doubt it'll be much.
