I received several suggestions, ranging from switching to a serial console server to using KVM's from Avocent or Raritan. Thanks to Will Enestvedt for pointing out a USB to type-5 adapter from UltraSpec.com for $175.. I also found that Raritan sells a similar product (ASUSB) that I can buy for $80. -----Original Message----- From: Matthew Stier [mailto:Matthew.Stier@fnc.fujitsu.com] Sent: Thursday, January 09, 2003 10:40 AM To: Sun Managers Subject: Keyboard-Video-Mouse switches I have a small server room (less than 12 systems) composed of Enterprise 450's, 3000's and 4500's. I've been using Lightwave Communications KVM switches for years; without problem. We are considering replacing our Enterprise 4500's with Sun Fire V480's. Since the V480's use type-6 (USB) keyboards, I'm wondering if anyone else has resolve the issue of mixing systems with type-5 and type-6 keyboards. -- Matthew Lee Stier * Fujitsu Network Communications Unix Systems Administrator | Two Blue Hill Plaza Ph: 845-731-2097 Fx: 845-731-2011 | Sixth Floor Matthew.Stier@fnc.fujitsu.com * Pearl River, NY 10965 [demime 0.99c.7 removed an attachment of type text/x-vcard which had a name of Matthew.Stier.vcf] _______________________________________________ sunmanagers mailing list sunmanagers@sunmanagers.org http://www.sunmanagers.org/mailman/listinfo/sunmanagersReceived on Thu Jan 9 13:41:51 2003
