I had the same problem when I started using SetCPU to put my ROM in 32-bit RAM.

The solution is quite simple. All you have to do is use the KEYPATCH option with
SetCPU. The problem is with Cherry keyboards. (Me thinks it's bad serial frequency
on the keyboard data transmit line.) This fixed my problem about 6 months ago
and I lived ever happily after.
