Hello,
My question:
Is it possible to have 2 RS232 sending devices like 2 separate pc's. Those PC's will independently control the RS232 projector and receive status.
It almost work but yet its not reliable. So maybee can help me with it. Is there a device with switch RS232 control ports or whatever...
I hope somebody can help me out...
Thanks !!

this type of application. I have used this method several
times in order to share A/V equipment for multiple rooms.

Use 3 AMX RS232 ports (1 to the projector and 1 for each PC) and write the appropriate code to provide the "intelligent" switching. Responses from the device may cause the control software problems, so some intelligent routing may be necessary.
This solution also has scalability on its side because you could add more RS232 ports to have more sharing...
And of course, the extra revenue to AMX wouldn't hurt
