Hi James,

I knew there's be a few people who really knew their stuff knocking
around on here, thanks for your input and such a swift response :)

a) VGA only is OK and more realistic given my budget I think.
b) Strong preference for both. Would PS2->USB conversion be easier than
the reverse or am I best off with a switch that has both ports?
c) 4
d) No

So bare bones really, I certainly don't need IP, device sharing or any
of the fancy-schmantzy other stuff you mentioned, just a basic solid
vanilla KVM that is happy to plug into almost anything.

Thanks again :)

Roger.
