I have a USB CDRW, and I have 3 pcs networked. I would like to share the CDRW on at least 2 of the pcs. I have been told (altho have not experimented yet) that you can't share it like a drive and it's a pain, since my USB ports are on the back of the computers, to swap it. Some tech told me there are USB Y-cables\splitters, but no store I have asked or looked has ever heard of them. Anyone know where to get them (if they even exist)or a better answer?
TIA

Go to www.computergate.com (http://www.computergate.com) in their usb sections they have a variaty from usb hub to mount in a 3 1/2" slot to hubs to splitters.

I just checked and found a USB Switch box to share one USB device with four computers, this sounds like it's just what you need!
It's part # WUSB4M and costs US$39.95

Yes, I kind of like this site, I use it mostly for hard to find items.
