Keyboard should work as the protocol is the same
for
DIN and Minidin.
Does
the lead from the KVM have separate leads for Keyboard and mouse or is it a
single plug at the KVM end. (1 plug to 2 leads for the PC) If it has two
plugs
for the PC end you may have had them reversed. The pinout for Keyboard and
Mouse
are different. They use the same pins for power 3&4 but different
pins
for clock and data. 1&5 for one, 2&6 for the other (dont ask me
which)
Mouse
wont work.
You
can get mice that are PS2/Serial and they will work on any PC with an
adaptor to
make the pinout correct but that is because he mouse can use BOTH protocols
Serial AND PS2
A
KVM
switch would be PS2 mouse only and unless the older PC had a PS2 socket it
wont
work.

Can I connect a PS2 mouse and keyboard to an
older PC using mini din adapters to convert to the D and din
connectors.
I've just connected up like this via a KVM
switch
and it doesn't seem to work, when the selector is on to the older PC the
keyboard goes dead and the mouse does not work.
Thanks
