Does anyone know a KVM where 2 users can control the same computer at the same time (full control)

thanks

Can't, the OS and BIOS can work with only one mouse and keyboard at a time. A KVM gives only a choice of one computer connected to the KVM at a time.

i saw something about this and it is possible.. but i can't remember where i saw it.. it might've been /.

Seem to recall that 2 mice (mouses) work OK. Don't recall the exact setup to get it working but I have seen it in action.
Suspect that 2 keyboards would be swappable through a mechanical switch box. But no electronic switches.

Why would you want to have 2 people control 1 pc? If you are running xp and had 2 machines you can run the other with remote desktop. I mean you only have 1 mouse pointer,so who gets control? You can have 2 mice but they will oppose each other. Even with 2 monitors you can't have 2 perfectly seperate desktops, the mose pointer only lives in one instance so only shows up at 1 spot on 1 desktop at a time.
