I also had the same problem about 2 years ago. I had an A2000 (stock) then
switched and got an A4000 and the problem still persisted. 2 years ago nobody
had an answer (and seems no one does today either) but a couple of theories.
1. It's not the keyboard that locks, it is the Window Color/Mono
that freezes.
2. The AMOUSE memory area gets corrupted which causes the whole
Janus setup/software to misbehave, hence you have reboot or run
PC Reset.
You might also experience not being able to save the PC Color Window color
scheme. This bug however, only happen when I was working with the A4000. In
my setup, it didn't matter how many times I deleted the setup file on the Amiga
side and recreated it. The PC/Janus just didn't read the setup file for the
color scheme. What corrected all these problems (it seemed) was to get a
separate Video card. Once I installed it, the keyboard never froze again. And
to save as many slots as I could, I got a SVGA/CD ROM/Soundblaster combo card.
Hope this helps, Catcha later,
