TO GO: KVM (2 pc's on 1 montor/keyboard/mouse)


Recommended Posts

Bought from Maplin a few years back, used for a year or so, then plonked in a box.

It's an "Aten cs-62B" if that helps...

I bought it because I had a music PC that I specifically didn't want online, and a day-to-day pc that was...

No idea how this'd get on with windows7 etc... I was using 98se and XP when I was using this.

If you can use it, it's yours!

I'll happily post at your cost, or you can collect from Coalville, LE67

Should work fine with any OS because these sort of devices emulate keyboards and don't need any drivers or other software.

The only issue will be the physical interface. I'm guessing this device is for ps/2 type keyboard/mouse interface only.

It might be OK with Windows 7. I have an Aten CS-62U which works fine with Windows 7.

Unfortunately a lot of KVM switches, in common with many other USB devices, won't work properly with Windows 7. Microsoft implemented the protocol properly for the first time in Windows 7, so a lot of legacy kit made to the previous, more lax, Microsoft implementation, won't work. I tried 3 or 4 before I found the Aten. Belkin seems to be particularly bad in this respect.

Perhaps, but the KVM in question is a PS/2 keyboard/mouse device so USB is irrelevant . . .
