The power should come from the PC (or SHermes) keyboard connector, logical, because then with an ATX-PC the keyboard can be used to wake the PC from standby mode. > this is a problem as when the KVM checks for the Aurora, it > automatically switches back to the PC, i.e. there is no manual > override. > In my case (one ATX- and one AT-PC) the ATX must be connected to input 1 and be in standby, so the KVM gets its 5V, then I can start up the AT at input 2 an make the switch (before the bios complaints). > I guess, assuming i know how, I could feed power from the Aurora's > power line ( +5V ) to the correct connector pin and if this pin is > currently bare there shouldn't be an issue.

The Aurora has a Qimi type where you can't use a PC serial or PS2 mouse (or KVM)! Ser1 or ser2 should work but it's best to use ser5 or ser6 on SHermes (they all accept a PC mouse) leaving ser1,2,3,4 free for serious work.
