I'm still pondering on my Classic Mac collection and i need to build a shelving unit for it, however i need to find a KVM switch compatible with Apple Desktop Bus.
Any ideas for switches??

Gailwin - I thought you already had all of the Classic Macs! I've held serial/ADB adapters in my hand and I know I've had switches for the serial. I found the following links:
http://sewelldirect.com/Gefen-Mini-KVM-Swi...-ADB-2-Port.asp
http://www.42u.com/nti-usb-to-adb-adapter.htm
http://www.networktechinc.com/optn-st-u.html
This last one is super-duper, I would think you'd need the KVM and separate adapters for video at least. It might be a little rough and unreliable but maybe it can be done!

i'm still collecting
I like the ADB to USB adapters
i can probably use an iMac keyboard with the switch at the master end...
it'll need some experimenting with
thanks gunug

Read the manual for the ADB to USB adapters
http://www.networktechinc.com/pdf/man009.pdf
it seems like a reasonable solution
S-Video cables have the same connections as ADB cables if i'm not mistaken.
this may be perfect, if sold in the good ol' US of A
