    USB Switch with Priority Function

    Hi chaps.

    I'm trying to work out how to have a PC plugged into a USB switch but that hands priority to a laptop that may perhaps be plugged in later.

    It's for a smartboard that's to be used by teaching staff... most will use the dedicated desktop PC but some wish to use a laptop.

    Just trying to achieve the best solution with the least amount of hassle for the user.

    Any thoughts guys?

    One of these might do it: http://catalog.belkin.com/IWCatProdu...duct_Id=157151

    Or use a USB extension lead to run into the back of the PC such that it can be disconnected at an easily accessible point and the laptop connected instead.
    If you can't keep up, stick with reality...
