Related -- kinda.
A while back someone used to sell a cable / thingie that would allow you =
to use your laptop as a keyboard and monitor. Basically it had a VGA / =
HDMI and PS/2 port on one side, and a USB port on the other -- you'd =
plug the USB into your laptop (and run some client) and the VGA / PS/2 =
into a server, machine, whatever. Whatever the server sent would show up =
on the laptop -- basically this means you can avoid having a crash cart. =
I've done a crappy job of explaining it, but does anyone know what I'm =
on about? Who made this? It is still available?
