Damn! I thought to try to verify that the mice & keyoards I have

PC USB port. It worked too. So the keyboard is good on that
computer, as is the Y.
I then piped the keyboard PS2 through the KVM. NEITHER THE MOUSE
OR KEYBOARD WORKED! So it wud seem that I cannot use this Aten
4-port CS-114A KVM for some reason. Strange, because the KVM
switches the monitor to both PCs quite nicely.
Damn! Or did I already say that.

Under a nym of "Piper" (who signs outside of a sigblock as "Pete",
as in Pete[r] Piper) in your prior thread titled "ATEN CS-104 KVM
switch need power cord" (Message-ID =
), you got help on
finding an AC/DC power adapter for this KVM.

Then you nymshifted to "Turing" (who signs outside of a sigblock as
"Al") in your prior thread titled "Need cables or ATEN CS104 4-port
KVM" (Message-ID = ),
you had other problems with this KVM.

You didn't have the power adapter. You didn't have the cabling.
Apparently you didn't have the manual (and others found one for
you). And you are still having problems with that KVM you got
suckered into an impulse buy at a garage sale or swap meet that was
sold as-is. I don't remember if you ever identified the computer
with the PS/2 port and also identified the keyboard (which might be
a USB-PS/2 unit) but then I'm not wandering through your other
threads about evergrowing problems with this same KVM to find out.

From that pic, the KVM probably only handles PS/2 or DIN5 keyboards
and PS/2 or serial mice. If a PS/2-only keyboard doesn't work with
this KVM (not a USB-PS/2 keyboard using an adapter) then trash the
garage-sale KVM and get a new one. Since you have USB ports in
your computer, just move ahead to a KVM that works with USB devices
(keyboard and mouse) and get new keyboards and mice. You've spent
at least 15 days here getting help, and probably more before that,
trying to get this garage-sale or swap-meet junk to work trying to
save, what, about $20 for the cost of a new PS/2 KVM? How much did
the power adapter cost? How much did those cables cost? And you
still cannot get the KVM to work. Periphery replacement isn't
going to fix the box itself.

Example of a new unit but with old PS/2 support:
https://www.newegg.com/Product/Produ...9SIAET87AA7690

$27 new, with cables, power adapter, PS/2 support, and even supports
switching of audio. That's just an example but looks discontinued
(and why I mentioned moving forward to USB input devices since your
computer has USB ports). Some other KVMs are under $20 but have no
audio support. Check the video resolution the KVM supports is
equal to or greater than your video card's maximum resolution or
whatever max resolution you will use.

That you're a nymshifter (Piper signed as Pete and Turing signed as
Al) puts me off from continuing this disjoint discussion across
multiple threads. There's something suspicious about someone who
spends more money on a power adapter and cabling to ressurect a
garbage-bin unit than to buy a new KVM that would work and
warranteed. Bye bye.

I see I have ****ed u off. I did the name shift out of ignorance.
Sorry. I did not think it was important how I signed separate
threads. But I guess I was wrong!. I was simply going for
anonimity.

Anonynity diesn't exist on teh webz unless you're using tor and even then if
you're kiddy fiddling you'll still get caught.

So, at this point I reluctantly want you all (yes, all) to forget
all this, and forget you met me. I am ambarassed, have erased all
related threads herein involved, can no longer read them, and am
gone. I will try to figger this out for myself

It is only my opinion regarding nymshifting. Others might not care.

I care. Nymshifters can't be trusted. That's my take after 25 years on
usenet.

Besides the nymshifting, I felt you were keeping us dragged along on a
lost cause.

Agree. Lonely people seem to have trouble dropping the mic.

BTW, erasing the treads in your client doesn't delete them from the
servers. Your Johnny@seehere, Wayne@cowboy, Piper, Sam@spade, and
Turing posts still remain on the servers and archives.

Heh! Damn noobs. I'm all for helping people but some people seem to want
more than just help - they want attention too and I don't do that.
