Comments about KanexPro USB DisplayPort KVM Switch - 2 Port:
I used this to connect a MAC Pro and Mac Mini to the new MAC 27" display with the mini display connector. You need cables to adapt the display port to the mini display port but this was the best solution for the price. Also works at the dual link resolution with excellent picture quality.
