OTOH, I've had a Zonet 4-way KVM switch that has worked great for years. Yes, it's ancient history - PS2/VGA, but it has supported the various PCs (and laptop docking stations) over time just fine. I got a good PS2/USB converter, Belkin F5U119VE1, that works well with my newest PC on the KVM...

FWIW, I've had good luck for over 9 months with this USB to PS/2 adapter, converting just the PS/2 keyboard to USB on my old 2-PS/2 motherboard. I wanted to try it before I got one of those newfangled 1-PS/2 mobos. It works fine through my old Zonet KVM.

Oscars Cute montage. 1953-55, power trio: From Here to Eternity, On the Waterfront, and Marty. I'd watch them all again. Earnest Borgnine pretty good in quite different roles in the first and last. No McHale's Navy there.
