Is there a KVM switch that will handle both ps/2 and USP?  I would love to
find such a beast for my desktop where I switch between a couple of Linux
boxen, an Apple G4 running OS X, and a rather ancient box running an AT
main board with no USB.  Currently I have a ps/2 to USB adapter on the G4
going to a 4-port ps/2 Belkin KVM switch.
