Will mini, and powerbook use same screen?

[imac abuser]

I have a 15" 1.5 ghz PB, and have been thinking of adding a mac mini to the mix with superdrive ect. What I want to know is can I hook the mini to my powerbook via the dvi cable (or another) and have then both work off of the same screen/keyboard/mouse? I think you can toggle something to switch between them am i wrong?

You'll seed a KVM (Keyboard, Video, Mouse). Most are VGA and PS/2. You'll need to find a USB & DVI KVM.

Do you mean to have the mini use the PB's screen?

yes, i want to be able to switch between the powerbook harddrive and the mac mini using the powerbooks keyboard monitor / mouse

Nope, the PB (and just about every other laptop out there) is not designed to work as a KVM.

Guess I misunderstood your question. Sorry. And yep, they are right: You're out of luck because it can't be done.

What about using Apple Remote Desktop?

Only if you don't mind the lag and lack of certain things that accompany using VNC...

And last time I checked, there's only one of me 😛
