RE: Keyboard and Mouse

["Phil Harris" <phillip.harris1@xxxxxxx>]

I use a Belkin OmniView SE 4 Port KVM switch and it will allow the control
of both PC and AT type machines (PS/2 or serial mice) using just an AT
keyboard and mouse ... it does the conversion between PS/2 mose input and
serial mouse output. Cool.
