Mike,

As james has already stated the address lines can't drive the added 
capacitive load of the cable or other devices devices through the cable.

That is why the Pro-Tector+ was created to fix this problem. See your 
hardware page at

Not made specifically for cable extensions but it does buffer the address, 
E, Q, R/W and interrupts. A good thing to do anyway.

Regards,

Mark
