This gizmo has no hot key configuration to switch from the keyboard and
it emulates PS2 mouse and keyboard signals for the machines during boot.
I have a M$ wheel mouse that works perfectly and a liteon IR wireless
keyboard/PS2 mouse combo (I don't use the mouse as it is a real
stinker). All have worked perfectly. I wish the cables were more
affordable.

&gt; &gt;
&gt; &gt;
&gt; &gt; I know there was some discussion on this a while back, but I can't for
&gt; &gt; the life of me find them or remember which month(s) they occured in the
&gt; &gt; archives.  I've got 3 machines (p200, p2 400, and a p4 2.8GHz) that I
&gt; &gt; would like to share keyboard, mouse, video (hence the KVM switch ;-))
&gt; &gt;
&gt; &gt; I've not used one of these before, so I just wanted to know what to look
&gt; &gt; for and what to look out for.  My current keyboard is PS/2, mouse is USB.
&gt; &gt;  My P4 has both ports as does the P2.  The older Pentium 200 is socked
&gt; &gt; away, so I can't remember if it has USB or not.  Should I get a KVM
&gt; &gt; switch with PS/2 then, just to be safe?  I have the USB to PS/2 adapter
&gt; &gt; that came with the mouse.
&gt; &gt;
&gt; &gt; Also, is the switching done by hardware or software (and if software, are
&gt; &gt; Linux systems supported well?)?
&gt; &gt;
&gt; &gt; Thanks for the feedback.
