However, when I had a PS2 kvm, I think the usb Tball worked OK       with the little passive USB to PS2 adapter that came with mice for a number of       years. Don't remember if there was a delay on switching back to os2 or not;       don't think so.              If you are stuck, I could probably pry a spare usb in - ps2 out adapter loose       for the shipping cost (should be cheap). contact me off line if needed.                     --         Julian Thomas: jt@jt-mj.net http://jt-mj.net        In the beautiful Genesee Valley of Western New York State!        -- --        Old age and treachery will always overcome youth and skill.                                   ------------------------------------              Yahoo!
