Answer: Thank you for your inquiry,
Yessir, the KH1508a is a direct replacement (newer version) of the KH1508 KVM switch. You can change the part numbers interchangeably these days.
Question: I have a question about your part KH1508A and the KA9520 dongle. If I use the PS2 dongle server side will it work with a USB keyboard and mouse on the KVM side?
Answer: Thank you for your inquiry,
It would indeed! The Aten KH1508A KVM gives you an option of using USB or PS/2 Keyboard and Mouse on the KVM side, which is not dependent on the source KVM dongles kb/ms interface.
Please let us know if there is anything else we can help you with!
