How many keyboards/mice can I connect into a single computer?

Question by Chucky Norris: How many keyboards/mice can I connect into a single computer?
I want to run Virtual PC on my quad core computer and run 4 virtual pcs on it. But I would like to have each Virtual PC on its own monitor (using 2 video cards with 2 vga outputs on each card) and its own keyboard and mouse.

How can I do this?


Best answer:
Answer by fang_sharpYou can plug in as many as you want using USB and USB hubs.
But you'll need some quite tricky drivers to have them working (normally it's that all the mice battle for one cursor, all the keyboards send keys to one target etc).
Also redirecting the 2 Virtual PCs to 2 VGA outputs may prove tricky.
You may look up "Winterm", it sounds like an adequate solution for your problem.
