At school, they were using Belkin KVM's, so I decided to buy one too. Bad idea. I checked with the support staff and apparently the cheaper Belkins were giving them the same trouble I had: the mouse did not work reliably.
Being still within warranty, I sent it back and got a Switchview model (I forget the manufacturer) and have been very happy ever since. It was about US$15 more expensive when equipped with cables for 2 systems, but worth the lost hassles. The item was from warehouse.com, item # DSD2273. 4 ports, can reset the mouse (I never needed that), you can switch with the keyboard (double-tap CNTL), and a some other things I don't care about but you might. I liked the cables for this box better than the Belkin too, for reasons that I'd need a diagram to explain. And I'm too lazy for that. Comes with cables for 2 systems. ++ kevin On Mon, Jun 03, 2002 at 05:06:29PM -0400, Jerry McBride wrote: > > Would anyone recommend a KVM brand, modle or "other"? > > I've got a situation that's perfect for one, only need to support 2 > computers, but I would like to have > the ability to support 4 for future expansion.
