Re: Need Help Spoofing a Windows USB Keyboard



I don't want a keyboard at all on the windows box.

I want the mac mini computer to control the other computer (ideally
either mac or windows).

Not the keyboard to be able to control either computer.

Basically I want the KVM functionality but from either firewire, USB2
or LAN as input rather than Keyboard and mouse as input.  Lan to KVM
is expensive from what I can see.  I have a rabbit processor board and
can write a PS2 driver with it and spoof a PS2 keyboard but that is a
lot of work and I am oh so lazy......=)

But I guess its time to start coding...
