I'm not that familiar with the NewerTech upgrades but try disabling the cache if that is an available option in the NewerTech Control Panel. I'm not sure of the name--something like MaxPower I think. I had a PDS NewerTech upgrade for the 8100 with a similar problem and it went away when the cache was disabled. What this told me was that the cache was defective. So try disabling the cache. If the problem goes away, the NewerTech card probably has a bad cache. Jeff Walther -- PCI-PowerMacs is sponsored by <http://lowendmac.com/> and...
