I'm setting up some older Macs for a community computer center. One is
giving me some rather odd problems.

It is a 7500 with an xlr8 300MHz upgrade card.

The odd thing about it is that it is slower than molasses starting up. I
don't mean, however, the system (OS 9.1) start-up, which is pretty normal.

I mean, opening up the first window, AFTER start-up. I turn the thing on,
and double-click the hard drive icon, and... five minutes later the window
finally opens. If I haven't already restarted the Mac out of frustration.

Nevertheless, it does get going, after a while. And behaves rather well most
of the time. Programs open up from aliases nicely. Etc.

Anyone come across this before?

The machine only has 68MB of RAM, so that may be a problem. I'll be going to
the center in a few moments, and I'll check to see what other problems it
may have....
