looking for KVM switch (DVI-I, PS/2, 4-port, hi-res)
I'm looking for a KVM switch that does DVI-I (switches both the digital and
analog wires), PS/2 (e.g. the two 6-pin mini-DIN connectors) keyboard and
mouse, with 4 input ports ... and most important (because I have found some
boxes that meet all but this) support for at least 1920x1200 video. All the
boxes I have found so far as limited to 1600x1200 (including one that first
came out in 2007 ... well after 1920x1200 was the up and coming widescreen
display format).

I haven't checked, but you might want to browse the Belkin site.
Sometimes they have more sophisticated products that lead the pack a
bit.

They aren't even close. They have less than 1600x1200 capability, no PS/2
support in the DVI models, and their DVI models are not DVI-I capable.
I have two computers with analog/HD15 which I can adapt into DVI-A and will be
running at a reduced resolution not more than 1440x900. Two more computers
are DVI-D and will be run at a resolution of 1920x1200 and in the future may
even be pushed up to 2560x1600. Most monitors can handle DVI-A or DVI-D via
their DVI-I port. For those that cannot, I found a cable that splits DVI-I
into DVI-A and DVI-D. I would then adapt the DVI-A back to HD15 and plug in
to both DVI-D and HD15 ports on that monitor. The KVM switch needs to be
able to switch both the analog and the digital wires, which a few DVI-I type
switches already do, such as the one from Blackbox. The trouble with them
is the limit at 1600x1200. So basically I need a DVI-I + PS/2 keyboard/mouse
type switch that supports at least 1920x1200 for sure and prefferably can
even go up to 2560x1600.
