Odd. I'd have thought you had ready access to Laser. I have one, PS/2 in 
and 4X USB out. It's junk. Regularly locks up requiring cycling power, a 
hassle as it's host-powered. It's got selection buttons, but common 
keystrokes also cause it to switch. Sometimes its interaction with the 
host USB causes the latter to fail. Most recently it's ceased to work.


I'm following this thread with some interest.
