Ok, I'm going out of my mind over here trying to find something I saw on
the internet about a year ago. I'm hoping some of you have also seen it.

 

It plugs into you keyboard port and gives the computer proper signaling,
tricking the computer into thinking there is a keyboard connected. They
made a similar adaptor for the mouse port. I'm not looking for a KVM
switch.

 

All it was only a keyboard asic soldered onto the end of a keyboard
connector. But it worked great.

 

Some machines (most) require a keyboard to be connected. I want to setup
an array of VNC machines, and get rid of the keyboards and mice.
