Subject: USB->PS2 converter with KVM?
I'm attempting to use a USB-to-PS2 converter and running the PS2
through a Belkin KVM. The converts I bought seem to be old USB 1.1
stuff, and they don't play very well with any OS.
[..snip..]
Can anyone suggest a brand (and model) for a good quality USB->PS2
converter that plays well with Belkin KVM's?
Newlink USB->PS/2 convertors are quite good.
However, I suspect your problem is the Belkin - not the convertor. My SGI O2
boxes *really* don't like the Belkin Omnicube I still have somewhere, and my
pentium OS/2/DOS box won't see the mouse unless the KVM is switched to that
box on bootup..
Solution : ebay! I got a very nice Compaq (rebadged Avocent, IIRC) eight way
KVM for about thirty quid
