It *should* be simple to get a box to do all of the above.
It's disappointing and annoying that it *isn't*! :-(
I was surprised it took Belkin so long to get a KVM for home use that
switched audio (perfect for retro gamers with multiple generations of
machines).
My Black Box 12 port ADB KVM must have been made for a server room since it
has jumpers for each video output so machines can boot and sense a
"monitor" even when you are using another port on the KVM.
I guess its not worth it financialy to make and sell a low volume multi
platform KVM under $1000, then again I thaught there would be a few EE
degreed people on this list who would have designed and made one just for
the hell of it (since they would need one).
