Will this system work with Windows 7? (not listed...)
The short answer is yes, this hardware based KVM should work with Windows 7. However, there have been reports that some KVM switches do not pass the console display\'s EDID and DDC information correctly to all attached systems leading to display issues. This seems to arise mostly when mixing XP and Windows 7 systems.

Also remember that like any hardware based KVM, certain functions of multimedia keyboards and multibutton mice may or may not be supported.

is audio played simultaneously from all 4 computers or only the selected device?
The IOGEAR GCS1744 dual video KVM provides audio from the selected computer only. The audio source can be selected independently of the KVM, so audio can come from one computer while the KVM focus can be on another source.

Is the firmware upgrade cable for the IOgear GCS1744 available for purchase?
Thank you for your inquiry. We reached out to IOGear to inquire about purchasing the upgrade cable.

Unfortunately, they do not sell the upgrade cable separately. Additionally, they responded that earlier serial numbers for this model are not firmware upgrade-able. However, they added that if the KVM was capable of being upgraded, they would send out a cable directly.

Please reach out to the IOGear support team directly and they should be able to assist you further. When you contact them, please be sure to include the serial number of the switch to determine if the unit\'s firmware is able to be updated.
