I score on ebey quite often, and found this unit 4 90USD shipped. It 's an overkill item, but if I want to run 8 DAW's @ once w/ 1 x LCD, I'm covered. There are certain downfalls though, such as this unit w/o a manual. My IT friend is in the Bahamas and was pissed when I called him to ask 4 help on the ancient but worthy Compaq. I am so spoiled from this forum, but I must beg once again. I put together a whole new 6 foot 28U SKB Battle Tank full of DSP's ( 90 ) for synths, and samplers. GaryB is coming to help on the 29th. But I wish to at least be running this when he gets here, so he wouldn't be bothered by my experiments w/ computer fuck ups.
I Feel Unworthy @ Times, And Should Seek Therapy.
Any Users Of PS/2 / VGA KVM Switcher ?
I use them all the time at work. I use a small belkin KVM in my home studio as well.
what kinda of KVM is it? If I have used it I can probably help you out with the keyboard commands for it.
The physical connections are pretty easy. If you can use a scope system you can hook up one of those suckers.

can't imagine how I could ever work without one... 
I have DLink 4 port, switching is done by 2 fast presses of the Scroll-Lock F-key (it will beep once), then quickly a number from 1 to 4 , beeps a 2nd time and does the warp.
your 'initial' key may deviate from Scroll, just try which function key reacts to a quick sequence of presses
cheers, Tom

No Luck, but I am optimistic.
It is a brand new, old model Compaq 8 port 1U KVM. It uses PS/2, VGA. I can't get it to work w/ random key commands. Since it shows the resolution window, I assume the connections I made were correct. I'm using male 2 male KVM sets 10 feet in length, and a 1U rackmount PS/2, trackball keyboard drawer. The sight of this giant Scope rack is amazing. 15' foot luminouscent USB cables from controllers to front of DAW's, 8 Raptors blinking. Hardware FX, and Studio Electronics SE-1x's routed into Scope. I must share a picture of this w/ you guys. I call it my 28U SKB Shock-mounted Battle Tank. If I could just load a few shells, I could be a contender.

It works !! Thank You.
I have created more work though as this set up has changed. The mouse kind of sucked @ first, but has super precise touch w/ virtual volune knobs, etc. I can get around w/ lots more control than before, but I am trying to break old PS/2 habits. But two DAW's and 1 x LCD is great 4 a live keyboard rig.
