Sharing usb devices between 3 computers.

[fetster]

I have organised my home office and put my usb devices (printers / scanner / External HDDs) onto shelves.

I would like to be able to share all of these between three computers, one of which is a Mac Leopard OS. Are there any devices that will allow me to share everything between the three computers ?

Regards

They're called USB switches or sharers. 4 to 1 cost ~£30
You'll have to find where to buy them yourself because forum rules regarding competitors will prohibit anyone from telling you.

i know that could can share printer over a network so it would only have to be plug in to on, this is what i do at home, can not rember how tho, also you could share the harddrive using windows share option, not sure how it would affected the mac, but im sure it can be done. have no clue about the scanner but i would gusss its simlar to the printer.

the only thing to take in to account is that the computer with all the usbs would have to be on for the others to use it. so just pick the one that on the most
