Somehow the original posting to which this replies never reached my
network.  But this sounds like the identical problem I've had.  I have a
Plus, expanded to 2.5M.  Tetris always starts out fine then after about
a dozen moves the drop command (whether spacebar or down-arrow) stops
working.

I haven't really pursued an investigation as I've had other things to
do, but the problem seems to date from my acquisition of an extended
keyset--the Datadesk one (argh, is that the right name?...memory is
getting dim).  All the keys function as they should in the game, but
Drop stops working after a minute or so.  What gives?
