The Daystar Turbo 601 (and their other 601 upgrades) required a minimum of System 7.5, even though some PowerMacs would run older. I'd bet the G3 upgrade needs at least 8.5 to work without problems.
The T601 needs 7.5 or better because it has what amounts to 6100 ROMs on board. So it has the same (?) minimum requirements as the 6100.
The PDS G3 upgrades contain no such ROM kludge so they should work with any OS supported by the host machine, unless the routine that activates the cache needs a newer OS.
While the original poster's problem probably is some kind of extension conflict, it is also possible that his upgrade has a defective cache. PDS G3 upgrades will lock up when the extension attempts to activate the cache if the cache is defective. I saw this on a NewerTech upgrade, on which heat sink compound was dribbled all over the cache chip pins during manufacturing.
