single console to manage both computers, the MiniView™ Micro eliminates the  
expense of purchasing extra keyboards, monitors, mice, and the MiniView™ Micro  
eliminates the extra space they would take up.  
The MiniView™ Micro is small, portable, and fits right on or under your desktop. It  
also comes with a built-in KVM cable set to simplify the installation. Setup is fast and  
easy: plugging cables into the appropriate ports is all that is entailed. There is no

intercepts keyboard input directly, it works on any hardware platform and with all  
operating system.  
The MiniView™ Micro provides a convenient method to access the computers by  
simple Hot Key combinations from the keyboard.

Loose Cables  
This unit is designed to only work with PS/2 mice and computers  
with PS/2 type mouse ports. PS/2 mouse signals and serial mouse  
signals are different - adapters will not convert the signals -  
therefore, the computer must be equipped with a PS/2 type mouse  
port. Serial mouse ports with adapters cannot be used.

** Some notebooks, notably the IBM ThinkPad and Toshiba Tecra, have trouble  
when their mouse and keyboard ports are used simultaneously. To avoid this, only  
connect the mouse port or the keyboard port. If you connect the mouse port, you will  
need to use the notebook’s keyboard when the notebook becomes the active
