	Couple of possiblities... Get a new keyboard, the only ones that had
this problem were those real early Cherry keyboards. The newer HiTek keyboards
or the Northgate Ultra don't have the problem. Or, if you have a 2620 or 2630
installed, SetCPU has a keyboard patch routine that can be enabled with the MMU.
I haven't tried this with the Transformer, and I know you have to disbale the
caching and burst modes to use Transformer, but it may work... :-)
