My OmniView Pro 4 can be daisy chained with a rediculous amount of computers, I think it said 256 or something like that, so yes some can be daisy chained.

Thank you spikecollarbear and IITravel. Mine is from Hawking Tech, 2 port, (sorta a cheapo), and I use the keyborad combo (ctl-sh-alt-1/2)to switch, so if I chain it with another KVM, can I still do that?

Also, my KVM doesn't even support M$ intelliTrackball or logitech optical mouse. Do you guys' support optical mouse or better yet, logitech cordless trackball? If so, maybe I should just get a new KVM, 4 port.

Hey, I lied earlier, I have the Hawking Tech CS142 2port KVM Switch. IIRC, however, it is the same unit as the linksys 2port (just a different name).

RE: Opticle Mouse-- I am (and have been) using mine with the MS Intellimouse Explorer. It's worked fine for over a year. It should work with anything out there as long as it's NOT USB. (The intellimouse has a USB to PS/2 Adapter and that's how I have it connected).

I'm pretty sure you can cascade switches with the 2port Hawking/Linksys but it really doesn't make sense to do so (you loose a port on each switch when you cascade.)

Linksys ProConnect 2-port: buy.com is backordered, but Amazon has them for $58.

I have one, picked up at OD in Little Rock, AR about 3 or 4 weeks ago, I paid 19.88 though. sorry don't have reciept but you can ask the store to pricematch it to store #121 in L.R. AR. all stores have access to other stores pricing and inventory. Just ask the correct person.
