	The only way you could use your keyboard and mouse would be to create
some custom circuits to translate the PC signals into Apple signals. At
the moment they don't exist.

	The monitor is another story. You can find a video card (the only one I
can recall is the Second Sight card) to output an SVGA signal.

	The best place for the switchboxes are with modems and printers. Getter
to spend $5.00 on a cable rather than $100.00 on a second peripheral.
