I received several suggestions, ranging from switching to a serial
console server to using KVM's from Avocent or Raritan.

Thanks to Will Enestvedt for pointing out a USB to type-5 adapter from
UltraSpec.com for $175..

I also found that Raritan sells a similar product (ASUSB) that I can buy
for $80.

I have a small server room (less than 12 systems) composed of Enterprise

450's, 3000's and 4500's. I've been using Lightwave Communications
KVM switches for years; without problem.

We are considering replacing our Enterprise 4500's with Sun Fire V480's.

Since the V480's use type-6 (USB) keyboards, I'm wondering if anyone
else has resolve the issue of mixing systems with type-5 and type-6
keyboards.
