I am using a MasterView kvm switch that shares usb/monitor with 4
devices, 2 XServes, 1 G4 and 1 G3/350 Server.
The G3 has a KeySpan usb card and occasionally will lose control
(generally if the kvm is powered or if the G3 is restarted without the
correct switch selected). The others work well but do take about 5
seconds to respond.
Purchased from Desktop Applications about 18 months ago.

Hi
We'd like to share the peripherals on a newish Compaq with a G4/933
Mac running OS 9 and OS X. We're putting the G4 on our helpdesk so
the staff can actually do some Mac support :)
The Compaq has an analogue SVGA LCD screen and USB keyboard and mouse.
From memory there's some complications switching USB devices - some
of the reviews I've read note a 5+ second pause before the USB gear
responds. Was it the DrBott KVM that suspended the USB bus and kept
it active when you switched?...
All comments and personal experiences welcome.
I have a DrBott 4 Port USB/VGA switch for sale if you want it. It's
about 6 months old. All the cables are there. $300. We replaced it with
an 8 port version.
