Does anyone have a setup where they can use one keyboard, mouse and

don't have room on my desk for two separate systems.
I'm looking at getting a USB KVM switch, anyone know if this will
work?
Any suggestions?

I use a Linxcel 4 port USB KVM switch. Connected to it is a Lacie
Blue22 monitor, an Apple pro USB keyboard, a Logitech 4 button wheel
mouse, a G4 MDDP firewire 800 Dual 1.25 / tiger 10.4.4 , A Yikes G4
400 in a BW case / Tiger 10.4.4 , and two PCs running XP pro. After
the PCs are booted to the desktops, there are no signs of any
problems. However, during install of XP, I have had to bypass the KVM
switch with ps/2 mouse and keyboard until XP was fully installed.
During the installs , it seems that the generic drivers are not
sufficient enough to recognize the KVM routing . I tried it with most
all Apple hardware from the Dual 2.0 G5 tower down to the BW G3, an
ibook G3, iBook G4, Powerbooks G3 and G4, Pentiums 1 thru 4 running
2k, ME, and XP home and Pro.
I hope this helps you .
