Same here, my KVM also uses the scroll lock to turn on all of its
switch by keyboard options. It's a "Sitecom" unit. Can't help with
telling you where to get one of those - I got mine at a computer fair
that you're highly unlikely to be near ;-)

Mine's the 2 port - the 4 port linked above was the number 1
suggestion from Google for "Sitecom kvm switch".

PS Been looking at a couple of other pages at the prices. I got my KVM
for about £20-£25. The online prices seem mostly more. Ouch! If you
live in the UK, you might be near one of the places these people go to
