<< I can't get the PC card to run for more than about 10 mins without freezing under 9.1 either. It appears that both the PC card and the Mac itself are fairly stable under 8.1, no freezes at all and it was running for 4 or 5 hours running both the PC card and the Mac desktop. >> The PC card consumes lots of power. I have one in my G3/300 MT. I added supplementary fans cooling in the MT's "handle" ... two small fans which happen to blow over the accessory cards, including the PC card. Crashes attributable to the PC card have vanished. On a 7300, you only have a 45 cubic foot per minute fan. The G3 DT's fan is the same. As an experiment, I replaced my G3 DT's fan with a fan rated 65 cubic feet per minute. The results were a reduction in G3 chip temperature from 97 degrees F to 85 degrees F. I presume there was a corresponding reduction in other component temperatures. I presume you're running pcSetup2, version 2.1.7f? -- PCI-PowerMacs is sponsored by <http://lowendmac.com/> and...
