E3k, E220R and E280R with USB?
AFAIK these machines use the proprietary Sun keyboard and mouse
interface.

There are converters to turn ordinary PS/2 keyboards and rodents into
Sun keyboards and rodents. These are litle protocoll converter boxes
that you plug into the keyboard / mouse connector of the Sun. Then you
plug PS/2 keyboard and mouse into the protocoll converter box. You
could use a PeeCeeish PS/2 KVM with such a converter.
