## Questions & Answers

**Q: Great product, but is there any instance where a traditional crash cart would be better than this?**
A: I've used this console to install quite a bit of equipment.  It's great, because I never know if there will be a crash cart where I'm going.  I would say that the only advantage to a crash cart would be that you could leave it attached and unattended without leaving your laptop behind.  So, say if you needed a local facilities person to click "finish" for you or something like that, you could leave a crash cart attached.  I've never run into a situation where I wish I had a crash cart instead of this console though.  I suppose the other advantage to a crash cart is that it comes with it's own table.  I've had to sit on the floor a few times with my laptop in a cage where the customer didn't have any furniture.

**Q: Does it have a copy paste feature so I can copy text out of the kvm onto my windows laptop?**
A: The display is a graphical representation so there is no text recognition.  You could theoretically take a screen shot and send to OCR but I'm sure that's more than you'd like to deal with.

**Q: I see this does not work with the current mac os, will it work with parallels or vmware?**
A: The NOTECONS02 supports up to Mac OS 10.13.x. The limitation with later Mac OS versions is for our older NOTECONS01 model.

Nick, StarTech.com Support.

**Q: Is this a kvm over usb (like a kvm over ip) where i would be able to view and control a functioning laptop from a desktop**
A: The host OS (windows) on system you plug this into (laptop/desktop) is Keyboard Video Mouse to any other system you connect this to. The KVM shows up in an application.
