Re: 3488 with KVM [was Re: 3180 device...]

["Steve Landess" <sjl_123@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

No -
I don't use the keyboard and mouse connections on the KVM with the 3488 -
just the video connector.

The 3488 doesn't have a PC-style keyboard connector.  This configuration
only saves me the real estate occupied by the display.  I have the 3488
keyboard and a PC keyboard on my desk.  I put velco on the bottom of the
3488 keyboard and keep it stuck on top of the monitor to keep it out of the
way.

Anybody know if there is a cable converter that would allow this to work?
PC-style keyboard on one end, 3488-style keyboard connector on the other?
