2.1 What you will need

•A suitable USB-enabled operating system running on each of your computers. Suitable operating systems are Windows 98 release 2 or later and Mac OS 8.6 or later. Earlier operating system versions are not recommended and may cause occasional problems. Other operating systems such as Windows ® 2000, HP- UX® , Linux® , SCO® UNIX® , and Novell® NetWare® have USB support or are likely to add it soon. DOS, Windows 3.x, Windows 95 and Windows NT either do not support USB or are not recommended for use with the LINDY CPU Switch USB.

•Cables to connect the LINDY CPU Switch USB to a USB and video port on each of your computers. Cable specifications are given in appendix A.

•A monitor with a standard VGA/SVGA (15 pin) connector that will work when connected directly to each of your computers. LINDY CPU Switch USB supports low and high resolution monitors.

•Suitable USB drivers for all the USB peripherals that you wish to connect to the LINDY CPU Switch USB. Common drivers, such as those for keyboards and mice, are usually included with the operating system. If you are connecting to both PC and Apple Macintosh computers then you should ensure that you have drivers for both platforms.

•If you wish to connect more than three USB peripherals to the LINDY CPU Switch USB then you will need additional USB hubs. These may be bus powered or powered with their own independent power supplies. All USB hubs should be at least USB 1.0 compliant and should preferably be USB 1.1 compliant.

•A suitable keyboard and mouse. If you have LINDY CPU Switch USB Mac model 32 342 then these must be USB devices. If you have the LINDY CPU Switch USB PC model 32 341 then these may be USB style devices or traditional PS/2 style devices. If you are connecting to both PC and Macintosh machines then it is recommended that you use a PC keyboard and mouse because the PC keyboard and mouse has more keys and buttons than the Macintosh keyboard and mouse. If you wish you may connect both types of keyboard or mouse for convenience.
