MANY years ago I built my own KVM switch, by sending the keyboard
signals down a shift register and doing a broad-side decode to
activate the switch.  Following are the codes as seen at the shift
register.  I have schematics, if you're interested... but it's NOT a
trivial task (as I did it... today probably just a uP :)
