I have a KVM switch which I purchased last summer when I got an older G4 to run Tiger. I had it sharing the same monitor, keyboard, mouse, speaker but I never tried the mike; bet it would work. All five components attach to one node and it splits off into two ending in a video, sound, mike, a one usb for both keyboard and mouse. I used a generic mouse, a Logitech kcyboard which supported newer versions of both windows and OSX. It was about forty dollars CD with tax. Quite compact compared to the old AB switch box and those monster cables.
