Aurora does not have a 'keyboard connector'. It has to use third party
hardware, like superHermes, Diren etc that plug into the 8049 slot. A
standard AT to PS2 adapter works with superHermes, so I guess that would
work with the KVM switch. However sH and Di-ren use a round socket with
5 pins (AT) which is nothing like a 9D (or 25D) serial plug.
Describe your socket and interface please....
