Recently, I replaced the keyboard cable on my A-1000 with a standard 
telephone handset cord and it works great.  I checked the continuity 
of the conductors in both cords first.  The A-1000 keyboard cable does 
have the conductors 'rolled'.

I also am using a Radio Shack 9-pin joystick extension cable, 10 feet long,
on the mouse.

(Now if I can only automate the floppy changes so I don't have to get up ;-) )

Hope this helps.
