I think I have the worst possible setup here, I want to share my USB keyboard and mouse between a 486 but with the parts I have it seems unlikely.
My keyboard doesn't appear to work with a USB->PS/2 adapter and while I have room for a 2nd mouse on my desk, a second keyboard is definitely out.
I did have one idea about using a null modem cable and writing software to have my main PC emulate a serial mouse for the 486, but I need to do more research
before I spend any more time on it. Especially since it's been ages since I touched the win32 API and the fact I've never driven a serial port from Windows.
The keyboard is the biggest showstopper here though, any thoughts?
