Sun/USB KVM Switches, otherwise known as “multi-platform”switches, are designed to support a mix of computers of different hardware platforms, such as IBM PS/2 compatible, Sun (with either 13W3 or VGA video) and USB computers (such as Macintosh G4). Sun/USB KVM Switches also allow you to share Peripherals such as scanners, printers, hubs, routers, fire-walls, PDUs, etc. among the connected computers. These multi-platform KVM switches natively have the capability to convert the signals coming from any of these mixed-platform computers, so that one set of peripherals will control them all. Sun/USB KVM switches typically allow connecting a user console consisting of a VGA monitor, and either a PS/2 keyboard and mouse, or a Sun keyboard and mouse.
