Not sure if this is the correct place for this but it seemed like the best.
I have a MacMini and have now just received delivery of a new iMac. I don't have the space to setup both of these, so I also bought a Belkin KVM, which is designed specifically to work with the MacMini and either another Mac or a PC.
Unfortunately of course, the iMac doesn't use a monitor - it is all in one piece.
My question is - can I attach the KVM to the external graphics port of the iMac (assuming I get an adapter for the tiny connector) and then see the picture from the MacMini on the screen of the iMac? It seems more likely that the graphics port on the iMac is output only. However, there isn't room for the iMac and an external monitor - and the picture on the iMac is far better than the one on my external monitor anyway.
I know I can remote to my MacMini on the iMac (doing that now), but I needed access to both machines to do that. If the KVM is not going to work, then is there anyway to run the MacMini remotely without any screen attached?
I know the iMac is far superior to the MacMini, but I don't really want to just stop using the MacMini just because I can't fit a monitor for it onto my desktop.
