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...
