I'm not sure if this belongs here or in the Networking forum, but I wanted to rave a little about the KVM I just pruchased.

** Iogear MiniView II USB KVM **

My company is currently running 4 desktop Mac Servers and have been quickly running out of space. So, we started looking for some type of device that would allow us to share a keyboard, mouse and monitor between all four. Obviously this means a KVM, the problem is that almost no one makes straight up KVMs that will integrate seemlessly into a Macintosh environment.

We basically thought we were out of luck until after doing an extensive non-resale oriented search, we came upon the Iogear product. The KVM and connector cables are all included. Video-wise it supported a wide range of resolutions. Otherwise, it required no additional hardware to connect with our Macs and it installed without a hitch in roughly five minutes. The best thing, they can be daisy chained together to allow for up to 128 machines using the same mouse, keyboard, and monitor.

I would highly recommend this product to ANYONE in need of a similar solution, whether it be to control multiple servers or just run multiple machines.

Ciao!
