Just bought a refurbished Dell Dimension XPS M233S from 1997 from an eBay seller who also introduced me to this forum. It's very similar to the first Windows PC I owned back then but it's the first time I've done anything with vintage PC stuff in over 20 years so I'm pretty rusty and have a couple of questions!

1. The PC is going to share a desk with my wife's work laptop and docking station (yes she's very tolerant). Does anyone know of a KV switch that will enable a Cooler Master MK750 keyboard and Corsair M65 mouse (both USB) to be used with both the docking station and Dell M233S? Would Windows 98 even recognise such a switch? I tried plugging the Cooler Master keyboard into one of the USB ports on the Dell and it didn't pick it up although I don't know whether that's because it requires drivers to be installed first.

I don't really want to have separate keyboards and mouses for the two machines if possible and I understand that the passive USB-PS/2 adaptors that are available only really work with older input devices.

2. I have a list of about 25 games of that era (mid-to-late 90s) which I'd like installed on Windows 98 plus a few other things like Office '97. Would an 8GB CF card be sufficient or would I require a bigger one?

3. In order to update to a bigger CF card, would a file copy be sufficient or would a sector copy be required?
