Thank you all for your comments and suggestions. We were at the point where we never saw the ethernet card, we had lost the USB card, and also the OS was not loading (no ding) on startup about every other time.
We pressed the CUDA button, which returned stability to the OS and it now starts normally every time. However, it didn't do anything for the PCI cards. We tried the ethernet card in different slots and never saw anything about it anywhere in the profiler, either under devices or under networks. We removed the ethernet card and tried the USB card in a different, never-used slot, and also reinstalled the driver, but still can't see the USB card. I would be wondering if all the PCI slots were somehow screwed up, but the ATI XCLAIM display card, which is located in the first slot, still works. So, we still don't have any way of networking to the powerbook, and the starmax has lost a large portion of its usefulness without the USB ports. There is a real lack of repair people around here to look at the computer, so I'm not sure what we will do. If we can get the USB port back, does anyone know if something like the bluetooth USB adapter would work on the Starmax, or do they require an upgrade to the processor or OS? Any further suggestions are welcome.
