[In the referenced articles David Gelphman, Roland Mansson and Daniel
 Schaerer describe the problem of a Mac II failing to recognize its
 keyboard after about 50% of startups].

I have a Mac II which also exhibits this behaviour.  It also started around
the time I installed 6.0.5, but I would have changed plenty other things the
same day.  I don't have the ADBProbe cdev (where do I get that, folks?) so
I ran the ADBLister application I found on the Discy Business CD. This gives
the following repeatable result:

After an OK startup -

  Mouse
  Device = 2;  Device type = 1
  ADB Address = 3;  Original Address = 3

  Apple Extended KeyBoard                        Right...
  Device = 1;  Device type = 2
  ADB Address = 2;  Original Address = 2

After a startup with keyboard dead -

  Apple Standard Keyboard                        Hmm...
  Device = 2;  Device type = 1
  ADB Address = 2;  Original Address = 2

  Mouse
  Device = 1;  Device type = 1
  ADB Address = 3;  Original Address = 3

The keyboard is the extended model.  This Mac II has B ROMs.  I don't have
David's fancy monitor stand but I do have a nice blue mousepad :-)
