| 631937 | 2008-01-20 00:51:00 | Hey guys, I got this big 16 port KVM (rackmount with buttons to push), relatively new too. Anyways it doesn't seem to like my PS2 logitech keyboard, nor does it like any USB device I plug into it (via usb-ps2 adaptor, cordless mouse, usb keyboard) which renders it pretty much useless. Unfortunately I don't have any other ps2 keyboard or mouse to test it with. Anyone know what I could do to make it work? Could it be a power issue? It is supposed to work off the power of the ps2 ports however it does have a 9v plug 9 to which I don't have the power pack for :( Cheers, Rob |

| 631938 | 2008-01-20 07:02:00 | Um, so it takes PS2? And you plug the KB, mouse, whatever in using one of those USB to PS2 adapters? You can buy KVMs that accept USB direct..... |

| 631939 | 2008-01-20 19:50:00 | i have a kvm at work that only accepts ps2, usb mice/keyboards work on it fine with the USB to PS2 adapters, I DO have 9 volts of power running to it so my guess is that might be your problem | Jimmy D (2061) | ||
| 631940 | 2008-01-21 02:12:00 | Sweet yeah I'll try find that power adaptor... so hope it works. The ones with usb are $$$... this cost me $21 :) | hamstar (4) | ||
| 631941 | 2008-01-21 02:28:00 | $21! thats a bargain! did you get it at an auction or something? | Jimmy D (2061) | ||
| 631942 | 2008-01-21 02:33:00 | yeah trademe :) | hamstar (4) | ||
| 631943 | 2008-01-23 20:15:00 | OK so the powerpack didn't work. Does exactly the same thing :( Anyone got any other ideas? Any circuitry I could hack? | hamstar (4) | ||
