You (the poster of this part of the message) mentioned the 7100 was using OS9.1 and I think that the trouble is all there. Try OS8.1, best OS anyway. Even though I am using OS8.6, because I have to use USB (OS 8.6 required) and the PC compatibility card (maximum OS 8.6), it is much less stable than OS8.1, at least with my hardware (9600/350 640/10.2 GB 3 x 4.3 GB, Voodoo3, ATI 3D, MiroMotion DC30plus, USB/FW, Advansys SCSI card) 20" + 17" monitors, etc ...) I understand stuffing up a system like that doesn't help with stability, but OS8.1 crashed a fraction of the times this system does, so, as soon as I get a fast G3 upgrade for this, I'll go OS 9 and Virtual PC, hoping for the best.
