I'm looking at a MAC-Plus keyboard with the following problem:

every once in a while (pretty frequently now) it seems to stop
transmitting the characters I am typing, and after a second or so,
sends a burst of one particular character, apparently the same number
of keystrokes that were done on various character.

I seem to remember that someone asked about the same problem a few
months ago in this group and that some follow-up articles had some
information which might be helpful to try understanding/fixing this
problem.  Does anyone remember and/or have the information still?
or care to speculate?

I'll summarize and/or forward information on request.
