    I think you require special hardware to pull this off.

    If you had one monitor and you wanted to view all three computers on them, then you could get a 3- or 4-port monitor switch. The one I'm using in the office from Compaq even has PS/2 ports for the mouse and keyboard. This will probably be the more economical option.

    If you want to stick with this option, then you need 2 switches (X, Y), and one splitter (Z).

    A will be connected to X.
    B connected to Z (splitter).
    C connected to Y.
    Z splitted to X & Y.
    X connected to 1.
    Y connected to 2.
    I don't know, and I don't care.

    Twigs, lookup KVM switches.
    Never, ever approach a computer saying or even thinking "I will just do this quickly."
