Yes. However, the USB to PS/2 adaptors that came with the Iyonix both
have a picture of a mouse on the top. Does that mean they're somehow
different to one for a keyboard?

The keyboard cable on the Iyonix I have in the lower socket so I put
the keyboard cable from the KVM into that too. Swapping around didn't
seem to change things - the computer froze until I unplugged the
keyboad. However, I'll try again.
