Hi,
I have a Belkin Soho 4 way KVM here that also has a shared spare USB -
attach a hub to that port and plug your printers into it and you're away.
Best wishes.

Do a search on amazon for kvm switcher.
I'm interpretting your meaning as being able to share a keyboard mouse and
monitor between two computers.
Cheers

Annabelle,
For USB you don't use a switch, you use a powered hub. That expands the
number of ports.
I don't understand your need for a serial port for the monitor. A monitor
does not use a serial RS-232 port, it uses a special 15-pin connector
configuration. For that, you can purchase a special switch, but don't buy a
"serial port" switch. Buy a video monitor switch.

Hi, it's Annabelle.
Does anybody know where I can find an A&B Switch that supports both USB and
Serial Ports? The reason why I ask is because I'm eventually going to
purchase the Rockbox I7 from PC Audio Labs, and my monitor is powered by a
serial port connection. Also, I'm going to hook up my computer keyboard, my
mouse, and both my printers to the USB ports. Does anybody have any
suggestions for me?
