Knock on wood, but all seems to continue to work just fine. The KVM switch isn't even directly connected to the monitor. I have the video cable connected to an external TV Tuner which then connects to the two computers. This way I can switch to TV mode whether I'm on the IBM or Mac. For the keyboard I'm using the original B&W USB keyboard and for the mouse I'm using an MS optical mouse. This switch uses the control key to switch between computers (2 quick presses). -- G-List is sponsored by <http://lowendmac.com/> and...
