'Buddy B-200' Kit (for CPU sharing) ....

[Jim Harold]

Good Morning ....

In this morning's business section of the Washington Post, there is a short review of a product called 'Buddy B-200' by Vega Technologies (p. 23, upper right).  The 'buddy' kit consists of software, interface card, cable and an interface box and allows you to hook a second mouse, keyboard, and monitor to a PC thereby allowing two users to use the same CPU.  Each user can run the same or different applications at the same time.

You can have up to three 'buddy' kits linked to one PC which would allow four users in total to utilize a PC.  Each kit runs about $150.00US, which is certainly very reasonable.  More information on the kit is available at:

Does anyone have this product installed and if so, what's your evaluation of it's performance?  Any feedback would be most appreciated.  Thanks for your help.
