Connecting a modern keyboard to an O2 - SGIArtist - 11-17-2020
Is there any way to connect an Apple magic keyboard (wired) to SGI O2? I tried two kvm switches, Belkin Soho and Aten cs82u. With the Belkin my logitech mx ergo trackball worked fine on the O2 but the Apple kb didn't work even on my modern pc. The Aten on the other hand worked with my pc but nothing worked on the O2.
I'm thinking of ditching the kvms and just using dedicated ps/2 devices.

KVM switches cannot really negotiate mixed USB-PS/2 peripherals easily.
I recommend if you want a setup like that, use synergy from nekoware.

Edit: Found the synergy software.

For SGI stuff the best KVM are the old raritan ones i got one of this and get it working fine sharing keyboard and mouse to a sun and an aix box.

Soviet - More info please? I was going to try the VGA/PS2 CIM from Paragon & Raritan for older KX/KXII series. What have you found about using SGI default video over Raritan equipment?
