Abstract
A KVM switch having a uniprocessor architecture that accommodate multiple users and multiple computers—even multiple users to a single computer—via interrupt servicing provides dramatic improvements over common matrix-type KVM switches. Further, such features as hot-plugging computers, and keep alive computers (during power outages) are not inhibited by the present architecture. OSD menuing is accommodated, even as to both users, and OSD configurations are field upgradeable using flash memory downloading. The present architecture also accommodates tiered arrangements.
