It was thus said that the Great gordonjcp at gjcp.net once stated:
I used one of those. In fact, it's still in use, just plugged directly

It was thus said that the Great chris once
stated:
few of the units with no problem, but the
PS/2->serial mouse adaptors
won't
work through it---I've tried. Well rather, what didn't work was:
PS/2 mouse -> KVM -> PS/2 cable -> serial adaptor -> computer
You must use a PS/2 mouse that actually came with a serial adaptor. Just
any PS/2 mouse won't work. What happens is that the mouse detects on
power-up whether or not it's plugged into a PS/2 port or a serial adaptor,
and then starts sending stuff out in the appropriate mode.
