I have a 2-port IOGear miniview that works quite well. It is powered
and passes thru the C key to boot from CD, just as you request (I just
tested this to double-check). I'm also using a MacAlly IceKey keyboard
but it works fine with other Apple keyboards. I use this setup to
share with a Windows box. And fwiw, I've never had any problems with
it 'going deaf'. They do make a 4-port version of this so it should
work with your setup.

Dr. Bott makes a USB KVM rackmount but it is quite poor in terms of
appearance and how it works. I have a persistent problem with the two
G3s and 1 G4 going USB deaf with this unit. I suspect the problem
with it has to do with it not being powered. I had a Belkin rackmount
but the inability for it to pass through a 'C Key' startup was
frustrating as was using a PC keyboard. Seems like this ought to be a
lot simpler than it is.

Hi To All:
TIA for sharing your experience on the following issue....
I'm looking for a KVM....
Two XServes, two or three other Macs, and an IBM RS-6000 running
AIX...
I don't expect to have to include a Windows based machine in the mix.
If I have to leave the RS-6000 out of the mix, I can live with
that....
I see APC and Belkin, all of which require a PS-2 Mouse and Keyboard.
Is there a KVM out there that will allow me to use an Apple USB Mouse
and Keyboard?
Should I care? Of just go buy a PS-2 Mouse and Keyboard?
