Tim, Sorry, I can't answer you're question positively, I really wanted to ask you a question -- what brand/model of KVM are you using, and is it set up for PS/2 or AT type ports (or USB)? I'm still using a mechanical KVM with AT ports, with three computers that use AT ports and one that uses PS/2 ports. The (PS/2) keyboard words fine works fine through the KVM to the PS/2 computer with appropriate adapters, but I had no luck at all with the PS/2 mouse port, so I set that computer up to use the serial port for the mouse. I'd be interested in any experiences you've had along similar lines. I had planned to upgrade to an electronic KVM, but had trouble determining whether it would work properly, and, in the end, it ain't broke, so I decided not to fix it (for the time being). Thanks, Randy Kramer
