Abstract

A computer multiplexor (100) connects a keyboard (12) and mouse (14) via interfaces (24, 22) to configuration stores (32, 34) and link enable devices (40,42) respectively. The stores (32, 34) and link enable devices (40,42) are connected to keyboard/mouse port interfaces (29, 30) respectively, and these interfaces are connected to respective computers (16, 18). Certain of the connections (e.g. 56 to 62m, 72 to 76) are unidirectional: they provide for arranged to inhibit communication between the plurality of computers (16 or 18) while providing for necessary data flow to and from one of the plurality of computers (16 or 18) selected for operation in conjunction with the multiplexor (10).
