I did have the mouse and the keyboard into the Mac separately (from the KVM) through a USB extender/multiplier but it was not powered, and I did have to use a separate USB nouse for the PC because I could not get the USB mouse to connect to the Windows machine through the PS KVM, but I think this has nothing to do with my present problem.Please Read the full Rules here before posting or commenting This setup is somewhat new because my Windows 8 desktop system crashed, but when the windows machine was running with the Mac I was using a PS2 IOGear KVM and I never saw this Apple crash message. This KVM has one connector for Video, one USB connecter for both mouse and keyboard and one audio connector.Įverything seems to work fine except for the odd occasion when I switch back to the Mac and I'm presented with the crash overlay telling me to hard reset the MAC.

I have an IOgear USB KVM connecting a USB keyboard and USB mouse to a Dell Laptop that has Ubuntu 14.04 on it and a Mac Mini (latest possible OS for that hardware), Mac is circa 2008.
