After much shifting here and there, I believe I have a couple of issues: 1. The Rosewill is a bit flaky under 10.5. It has the 8169 chipset, but may not be directly supported by the OS X 10.5. Rosewill supplies drivers for 8, 9, 10.2, 10.3, and 10.4. They are now investigating 10.5 ... 2. My Sonnet card may have gone bad. It really throws a kink in things under 10.5 ... 3. The M-Audio 2496, might be working ... but along with the flaky Rosewill and Sonnet under 10.5, it appears to be causing the problems. 4. The ATI might be working ... might be being buried by the issues along with combo-of-flaky PCI cards. The nVidia Geforce 4MX works fine alone ... I might test the ATI alone as well ... but am guessing it will be ok. Since a separate Tiger partition showed promise for all cards concerned, I am now reinstalling a fresh Tiger partition, up to 10.4.11, and will continue along that line for now. As a musician, I need to move ahead, and wait for 10.5 to become musically more stable ... musician friendly. I can use 10.5.4 to run Time Machine by removing its Network connectivity and removing the M-Audio Drivers for now.
