I had the same problem with my PTP 225; I eventually just kept switching USB/FireWire cards until one worked smoothly. (Loove those easy return policies, I do...) I'm currently running a Belkin 2/2 port card under OS 9.1 with a Sonnet Crescendo G3 upgrade card, and all is well.
I'd like to upgrade the video card, as it's the main bottleneck at the moment, but that's a future purchase.
