San Diego, Academic Computer Center Lines: 20 Xref: mnetor comp.periphs:125 comp.sys.amiga:1348 Yes, the computer was off, but this has nothing to do with the problem as the computer is able to re-establish communications if the keyboard is disconnected, although it may restart the system. It would appear that my clunky keyboard is too old and the internal electronics are too anemic to handle anything longer than the original cable (without a kludgy power boost). The computer was purchased a year ago october, the first day they arrived in La Jolla. The keyboard has raised F and J keys (instead of the normal D and K) and has a "clunky" feel to it. Also, some of the keys "squeak". It has the dull checkmark, and absolutely no serial number or product description (although there exists an indented location for the sticker on the back...). As usual, he who buys first is usually bent over, with no course for correction, but this is the price one must pay if he wants to be first... John 7OHN
