The reason I got the card was because I believe the faster SCSI port went
belly up last year and I've been using the slower port ever since. Every
time I connected a drive to the faster port and I boot up the machine
nothing happens.
Check your memory. I had a 7600 that acted like that, I thought it was a conflict between my G4 upgrade and the mobo, which put the G4 up on the shelf as a bad purchase (close out Metabox JoeCard).
Went with the slower G3 for about 6 months until I decided I needed new RAM, and got a couple of new 128 sticks. When I put them in most of the ram vanished, yet when I installed each stick separately they all worked.
I slowly added the ram sticks back and determined that it was some old 8MB sticks I had, so I tossed those, and a couple of 16 meg sticks I had and they system worked a lot better, my internal SCSI came back and my G4 card worked again.
It was combination of old flaky 2K refresh ram mixing with new 4K refresh 128 sticks.
I bit the bullet and tossed all sticks but my new ones, bought another two to boost my memory up to 512 M and the system worked like a charm after that.
