Anyone know if there is any way to have one tablet control two PCs, each with its own monitor? I want the on-screen pointer to move and perform exactly the same on both monitors of the two PCs. I have had negative responses about tablets that use USB, that this is impossible. I have also had a 'probably not' about tablets splitting to two serial ports from the tablet. I also have had a 'no' for a VersaPad small tablet and scribe implement that uses the PS/2. Can someone verify these responses for me definitely.
Yikes. What about a mouse?
Can I split one mouse to control two PCs?
BTW, I need the two seperate PCs each having a monitor, no dual monitor for one PC.

Synergy (http://synergy2.sourceforge.net/) will work for 2+comps and one mouse/keyboard, although I don't know how well it'll work with a tablet.

I don't think Synergy will produce two cursors, one on each screen. It allows moving cursor from one screen to the other.

Perhaps this (http://catalog.belkin.com/IWCatProductPage.process?Merchant_Id=&Section_Id=2090&pcount=&Product_Id=134172) might work? I'm not 100% sure if it will work with input devices, but it seems to be what you are looking for.

Holy Cow, thanks! This should do it. I'll run it by the tablet folks at Wacom.
