Hmm...radio shack.... I wonder how well the interface debounces?  I 
don't know the technical aspects of these yet as I haven't had to work 
on one.  But often on interfaces that aren't software debounced (or that 
use my elegant diode flyback design I put on Todd Green's setup last 
time it was in as some of his buttons started behaving erratically) I've 
found that switches from sources like Radio shack can create interesting 
effects.   Including double triggering which may be a factor her.  -Bob
