Just another data point, I have a generic KVM switch so I can share a
monitor, PS2 keyboard and Kensington trackball between my homebuilt PC
(Tyan Trinity 400 (?) motherboard WIN98 Lite) and the Solid State 560X.
When I'm using the Tyan and switch to the 560 I lose the trackball when
I switch back.
Hadn't thought to unplug/replug the trackball, I'll try it next time I
fire the beast up (it's so noisy with that spinning disk thing....)
Strangely enough the Thinkpad 560x doesn't seem to mind being switched,
I can go to the Tyan and come back and everything works fine (Win98 Lite).
