Have you eliminated exactly that? I have a wonderful little IBM keyboard that
I was using with a mini-DIN to normal-DIN adapter plus an extension cable, and
I got the same symptoms quite often. The connections all seemed fine when I
checked them, but if I disconnected and reconnected it, it would immediately
start working fine again. Just a flakey connector, I guess.
Doesn't hurt to check the really stupid stuff.
