	The capacitance of your extender cable is too high.  About the only
	thing I can suggest is a higher quality extender cable, if such a
	thing is made.

	There were originally some capacitors on the keyboard's clock and
	data lines, used for noise reduction.  There were need for the
	original A2000 keyboards, but actually caused problems with the
	newer model keyboard.

	There's a small trimmer for this clock just below the CPU slot on the
	motherboard.  I don't recall offhand which direction does what, but
	it's there for adjustment as necessary.  If you don't have the 
	standard "tweaking tool", a small screwdriver can be used on this.
