I have noticed flakey performance from this card too. I haven't moved it around. It is in second slot from the bottom in my S900. It is OK transferring small files but large files crash. It works fine connecting to the router and internet. In OS 9.1and 10.2.1, my networked Mac G3 will sometimes not connect to the S900 via the network browser. However if I try to connect to the Mac G3 via the network browser on the S900, often I'm successful. Confused?
