Maybe you can make one out of an old NES controller and a DB-15 connector bought at Rat Shack. Just cut the cable, line up the pinouts and you're good to go.

Look for the pinouts of the Famicom EXT connector and the NES controller port, and match the signals ;D

I'd like to find a cable to extend the length of those EXT connectors. Most Famicom accessories, espically the Family BASIC keyboard, have  a woefully short cord thats maybe 3' at most. I'd like something more on the order of 9'. Any suggestions?

Make it yourself with a pair of DB-15 connectors and some multi-conductor wire. A cheapo VGA extension cable (the one that causes ghosting and usually sells for a few bucks instead of the quality ones) has 15 wires, perfect for building a 1:1 Famicom EXT extension cable.
