Hi Pat,
Don't know if you got an answer to your question, but try upping the value
of the 10k pullup resistors to 20-30k. I seem to recall reading about
someone using 30k, I just put 22k's in an interface for a computer that
was causing me the same problem, and now they work fine.
Hope this helps.
cheers, Paul
