KVM Switch

[KC2RPP]

Does anyone know where i can get a cheap KVM switch so i can switch between my Windows ME computer and my linux computer>? http://www.qrz.com/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/rock.gif http://www.qrz.com/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/rock.gif http://www.qrz.com/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/rock.gif

Been looking for one too. Have seen several at hamfests but they sued (UGH!) DIN connectors or DB-9's.

Is there a reason you don't just dual boot one of the boxes? Hard drives are cheap (~$20 - 30 after rebates for 100 Gigs) if you catch them on sale. Or if you really need both os's at once, try VM ware or crossover office??? Just a thought

Cheap KVMs are typically crap. Buy a Belkin and get it over with. http://www.qrz.com/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/tounge.gif

I have a KVM switch from Radio Shack and it works fine. It cost $30.00 about 6 months ago.

You might try these people...

Blackbox Networking (http://blackbox.com/)

we've ordered from them on the job and their stuff seems pretty good.

Belkins usually ARE cheap.

You just have to get the right one, if your systems use USB KBs & Mice, or ps/2 types.

I've had some problems with KVM's ... particularly with machines that have older ATI video cards...sometimes keyboard problems and it almost always seems with the mouse ports...although I can live with the mouse port problems.
