I've got the Mac Video/ADB Version of that SwitchBox, is that what you've got there?
If so, THAT is an awesome 68k peripheral conquest all on its ownesome!

I got that KVM off of the LowEndMac Swap List. I originally intended to use it to share a keyboard between my MDD G4 and my Power Mac 8100 until I found out that Griffin iMates don't play well with such devices, but I kept it to use for extra Apple gear without disconnecting the 8100. The video inputs are all standard Macintosh DA-15, but the KVM has an HD15 output. The box and the KVM itself make no mention of a brand name, but it's a very well-built device with a nice, solid mechanical switch.

Yep, your box is identical to mine, I think I've still got the packaging info in my files somewhere. :

I've also had exactly the same experience as you w/Griffin's iMate on my G4-466 DA.

A much better way to go w/G4s is to use a PS2 switchbox, as the PS2 -> USB adapters play very nicely w/the G4. You can find PS2 KVMs at rock bottom prices as opposed to USB KVMs. Also I've got, IIRC, Silicon Valley Bus Company's PS2 -> ADB adapter to hook up any NuBus architecture Mac with whatever else is on the PS2 switchbox, with minor problems that are easily dealt with:

If you ever have trouble with an ADB computer on a switchbox, there's a utility called "ADB Reset" which is ALWAYS in residence on the desktop of my 2300c/DuoDock II. It repairs any (usually mouse drag error) problems caused by the switchbox taking the 2300c's ADB input offline, however temporarily.

Enough about KVMs, that story is for another thread, didn't mean to hijack the thread about your righteous conquest!
