IOGEAR MiniView GCS1742 2-Port Dual View KVM Switch (GCS1742)
2 x 1 - 2 x SPHD-15 Video/USB, 2 x SPHD-15 Audio/Video
Description
The Dual View GCS1742 USB KVMP Switch brings dual head video functionality to IOGEAR's USB KVM switch technology. Now two dual-display computers can be accessed and controlled from a single console that consists of a USB keyboard, USB mouse, and two VGA, SVGA, or Multisync monitors. In addition, the GCS1742 allows the computers to share USB peripherals connected to the USB peripheral ports, such as printers, scanners, portable hard drivers, etc.
Recognizing the importance of sound, this switch is also audio-enabled. A single microphone can provide audio input to each of the computers, and you can enjoy the audio output of each computer on a single set of speakers.

Overpriced..
Did'nt last a year before burnt out.. But little did I know its malfunction created major network problems in which cased made my DSL line to seem bad, 5000 calls to phone company and DSL provider went notwhere, eventually this device died and my problems re-aligned.. WIERD! Something to do with the USB ports and stuff it was sending thru to my machine I guess?dvi Runs extremley hot as soon as plugged in.. I could fry a new egg on this thing.

IOMEGA thinks that because it can save you from purchasing 3 extra monitors they can charge you a premium for this, not based on cost to make with modest profit. We all know we dont want 3 extra monitors just a switch lol...

Reading the hot key switches will make your head hurt, I keep the audio from one computer and work the other so I need to remember to hit scroll scroll 1 K U.
It will switch just about anything.The switch works great, does what it is designed to do and had all of the cables (since some are specalized to pull the USB and audio information) Wish it would support the USB 2.0 so my thumb drive is slower when plugged into the USB port on the switch.

It will switch just about anything. USB 2.0 would be an improvement, some computers see this going back and forth will give you the "ding" new device found.
