We have a single keyboard connected via switch box to a FreeBSD 2.1.7 machine, two Linux boxes, and a Win95 box... If you flip the switch too fast, the keyboard locks up. But if you "pause" between the switch positions (halfway between A and B), it works fine... Has something to do with the keyboard power being cut off and the sync pulses from the CPUs... --mike
