To answer "why?", I know at least one person that has a 4port KVM switch,
and instead of having another keyboard on his desk, just plugs his DC into
the KVM (requiring a maple -> PS/2 keyboard adapter).

There are several adapters around, but the easiest to get is the one by
Mad Catz (supports both PS/2 and AT keyboards). It usually runs 15$ and
can be had at many video game stores (EB, Gamestop....).

Here it is in eb online:
