Alas (?) it wasn't the lead. As I said in a previous post, I managed
to get it working with a Windows PC and a Windows laptop and the
Belkin switching software.
!USBInfo reveals that it is a USB 1.10 device working at Low speed. I
suspect that internally it is quite complex.
I came tonight and turned on the Iyonix, still connected to the Green
lead. No display. I then pulled out the Remote lead and reinserted
it. This gave me a display and a Green LED on the remote. I then
booted the PC. Pressing the Remote switched me to it !!! Pressing it
again switched me back!!
There are clearly issues to do with setting the KVM up, probably
software ones, but it seems to be working now.

That isn't happening - the PC is working fine at 1600 x 900 in 16M
colours

I will try that at some point but I almost always turn the Iyonix on
first to access my email.
