My temporary workaround has been to put a wad of paper between the keyboard and the connector. This doesn't always work. A much better solution is to get an "ADB Y-connector cable" from Redmond Cable Corporation, 17371-A1 NE 67th Ct, Redmond, WA 98052, (206) 882-2009. I don't know the price because I haven't bought one yet, but I will be soon. The only reason I knew of the existence of this animal was because inCider/A+ gave one away at AppleFest in San Francisco during one of their free drawings. Unfortunately, I didn't win it, and Redmond Cable wasn't at AppleFest, or I would have gotten one there and then. Should've known before that Redmond would have what I wanted... They have everything!
