    Hi Guys,

    I was wondering if anyone had any problems with a KVM and a Mac?

    I have a 2port KVM which Ive been using but its PS/2 based and my KB and Mouse are USB so Ive to use adapters. This makes the KVM very cantakerous and I was wondering if it will be the same for a new Mac mini Im getting. Can anyone recommend a solution?

    should be okay with the adaptors. Only thing I find is that they like it if you switch to a machine while it is booting up. No issues other than that for me.

    I run a 4port Newlynx KVM with a mixture of mac and PC.

    Cheers Guys,

    I found one from Belkin that sits under the Mac Mini and its a hell of alot cheaper than I thought it would be. It doesnt come with cables though which is a bit gay. Does anyone know where to get cheap USB extension cables.
