Scott, actually that would be a cool feature! I think he's
referring here though, to the setting of the volume or drive /
partition that you would boot from. However, as I said, I'd love to
be able to set the chime volume independently of the system volume.
Have an awesome day!…
Smiles,
Cara :)

Hey Marshall, thanks, I didn't realize I could use the option key to
set the volume at boot. I assume you mean the chime? How does that
work? I assume holding the option and appropriate volume key? In any
case, that isn't a problem and the reversing of the option and other
key isn't a problem for me. I did try plugging my Apple keyboard
directly into my laptop and it wouldn't work so I'm assuming it will
if plugged into the KVM.
Well hey, it sure will make life easier as I have one keyboard on
the tray and the laptop keyboard on the desk which wastes space and
is causing me problems in my wrist.
tnx

Scott,
I've used Belkin KVM switches and everything seems to work with two
exceptions. The first is the reversed key problem you mentioned.
The second is that you cannot use the Option key to select the boot
volume. I'm not sure if this also applies to the "C" key to boot
from the CD.

Folks, I'm wanting to purchase a KVM switch. What I'm looking for
is one that will allow me to use my Mac keyboard with my iMac and
my employer's windows laptop. I know many will accommodate both
Macs and PCs, but I was not sure about the functionality with the
keyboard. I don't care if the windows key and alt key are reversed
for example, but I want all the other keys to function normally.
So, if anyone has any advice on which KVM will do the job or knows
whether the keyboard is mapped correctly, I'd appreciate it.
tnx
