I got Photoshop 7 back. It's not the best solution and it took
keeping my G4 instead of donating. It took buying an Iogear KVM switch. The switch cost me one dollar. On a fluke I bought a scratch off lottery ticket. It was a winner that was enough to pay for the switch.

The switch works as advertised. I only had one glitch. The display on the number two (the G4) was reset to 800X600 and off to one side. I reset it to 1280X960 60mhz and now it is looking good. I downloaded my mouse and table drivers and transferred them using Target mode.

I did find that switching while in target mode is not a good idea. dismount the disk image before trying to switch.

I will probably just use thumb drives to transfer files.

Losing PS 7 when I installed Leopard was a drag. Finding a fix was a pain, but worth it.

2. The KVM is acting flaky at times. Sometimes I lose my keyboard
and the plugging and unplugging routine doesn't work. I only need the other computer when I need Photoshop, so that's no big thing.
