4/25 I'm looking for a box that will let me use the same keyboard and
mouse on multiple machines - I was wondering if anyone has
seen one that supports the latest Logitech mice? (like the
Mouseman Wheel) - everything that I have seen so far only supports
very basic (microsoft) mice. Thanks! - mds
\_ The decent boxes from BlackBox should support everything.
The cheesy "four wires and a switch" boxes might not. -tom
\_ This is true. I bought this generic switch box from Fry's,
attempting to share keyboard / mouse between my PC and UNIX
station, but whenever I switch back to the UNIX box, the mouse
refuses to work until I unplug/replug the mouse cable.
\_ My company just bought some OmniView PRO 8-Port boxes by Belkin.
One box lets you connect the same keyboard, mouse (serial or PS/2)
and monitor to up to eight PCs. -- yuen
\_ I use several Omniview-PRO 8 ports in colocation sites. They
are very useful, and if you interconnect them you can manage
upto 64 machines from a single keyboard+monitor station.
KVM switches in general are often expensive, but the omniviews
look to be amon the cheapest. If you want to search out other
options, do a web search for KVM switch. Slashdot also had
an article not too long ago on KVM setups. -ERic
