[LUNI] using laptop monitor for desktop monitor

[jkaplenk at aol.com]

 If you can find some an older IBM thinkpad with docking station, some of the docking stations had a DB15 video signal input. You could plug another PC into it and use it as a monitor. I can't tell you which models for sure, but look for the 100 -150 Mhz laptops. This would be a great use for one of them -- little processor overhead.

 Subject: [LUNI] using laptop monitor for desktop monitor
 
  Hi, 
 
 Is there any way to use a laptop's monitor as the monitor for my 
 desktop PC? That is, I need to build a new server, I don't want to 
 lug my 19 CRT monitor out of the garage just to build the server 
 (which will run headless, when setup). 
 
 PS using my laptops keyboard would be nice too. 
 
 Thanks 
 Jay
