I used to have a mechanical switch that would do that, but just
flipping back to another PC, then back would restore it.
I have an IOGear USB KVBM now and it works like a champ, small unit
and less-cumbersome cabling.
I'm trying to redesign my office furniture so that I can easily get to
the backside of the PCs without moving them... the cabling, with
networks, power, UPS, KVM, etc. is turning into a nightmare :-(
If I could get it past the "war department" I'd do the old computer
room raised-flooring trick ;-)
