KVM Recommendations for 2002?
oolon asks: "I am in the
market for a KVM switch, as my desk at home is really cluttered.
Having never bought one before its hard to know which brands are
best. Until recently it seems that most KVM switches didn't support
'large' resolutions, however there are new models that now
claim such support:
Belkin claims they support up to 2048x1536@85Hz @ 400MHz bandwidth on their SOHO range, for
example. I only require output to one monitor, and a 4 host switch.
The hosts under control will be a mix of PS2 and USB. Thought I don't
require the hosts to share USB peripherals other than the keyboard
and mouse. Naturally I want a switch that works with my 3 button
Logitect mouse under Linux/XFree86, however most importantly I want
the switch to support high resolutions, without ghosting,
at a minimal resolution of 1600x1280 32bpp @ 85Hz. I am also
interested in what cables I should use, brands etc, each host
will need a run of 6 feet (preferably 10 feet is that possible
at high resolutions?). The switch to monitor needs a minimal
3 feet run. As to price, I don't really want to spend more than
500UKP (750USD). Ideally I would prefer to a price all in of 2/3 that
amount."
