This way I can boot a machine with NO keyboard, monitor or mouse attached yet have the machine boot up believing they are attached. So when I switch over to that machine all works fine. My KVM defaults to the 1st machine turned on. Cheers Voytek Eymont wrote: > Bruce said: > >>The reason it wont work is that the mouse will only (re)nogoitate the >>[mouse] protocol at POST.
