RE: One Console / 2 systems

[Neil Palmer <npalmer@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

A standard twinax switch will drop the session from the 'de-selected'
system.
If you can get your hands on an IBM 'Migration Data Link' or 'Transition
Data Link' it switches logically, and maintains the active session for
the system not currently using the console.
But it would be cheaper to get another used twinax display, even if you
end up stacking on one top of the other.
