I have quite a few desktop PCs and only one external DVD burner. I'd like to create a switchbox that would allow me to select which PC I used the DVD burner with. Commercially I can only find a 2PC to 1USB. I have a 4 port KVM and that didn't work (although I'm not sure why). But 4 wont do it anyway. I need a minimum of a 8PC to 1USB. I know how to solder and I am not a novice on how to wire switchboxes. I am however a novice to USB which I believe has 4 contacts. I don't even know what type of rotary or old radio style selector switches I would buy for such a project. Also I do not know if there is anything special I need to keep in mind when wiring USB. It seems pretty straight forward if I can find an 4P8T??? switch. Yeah that will be easy *sarcasm*...
