Yes, this is exactly the behavior I'm seeing. Glad to know I don't have
a defective unit, just a defective design. :-)
Unfortunately, the net result as I see it is that if I'm trying to
switch to something that isn't fully powered and recognized, then I
lose the kbd/mouse on my main (read high uptime) box. That kinda sucks.
How much do powered switch boxes go for, anyway?
