This is my second request for help!
When using a joystick in my second joystick port (the one not used
for the mouse), the system at times believes that keys on the keyboard
are being depressed.  This renders the port useless for games that
have keyboard control as joystick movements are misinterpreted as
keypushes.

This can be duplicated by placing a joystick in port 2 and rapidly moving
it in random directions.  You will here keyclicks echoed from the monitor.
Is this caused by the keyboard controller IC on the keyboard?

This problem affects many computers.  It is not just my machine!!
The local repair shop can only suggest replacing the WHOLE keyboard
for a price estimated between 50 and 100 dollars plus labor.
