Derryck, There are well known issues with the Crescendo 700 and 800 mhz cards with OS X. I was told that Sonnet has corrected the problems with their newer cards. It seems that judging from your post, that they haven't. A couple of things that you can try:
Order a 128 meg NON-EDO 5v FPM dimm from OWC. Remove all of your RAM and install the new dimm in a slot. Try booting with the non-EDO memory only. I've been told that EDO is a bit slower than non-EDO memory. That may be causing a problem. Definately install any Sonnet software that they suggest to install. The fix for OS X may be in the software. I can tell you that my S900 is rock solid with an XLR8 zif carrier card (www.xlr8.com) and a Powerlogix 900 mhz G3 zif.
