Apparently the 7x00's PCI bus is not so good, because it had to support the 601 processor which was pre-PCI, so even with a 604 or G3 it's using a PCI interface designed for the 601.
This is a good hypothesis because it fits the discussed facts, but it is not the case. The 7x00 and 8x00 and 9x00 all have exactly the same PCI bus(ses) supported by the same Bandit chip bridge and separate bus arbiter, and the entire family of x500 + 7600 machines use the same ROM. Then the original (non-Kansas) 8600 and 9600 and the 7300 use the same ROM as each other. And the two Kansas machines, 8600 Enhanced and 9600 Enhanced use the same ROM as each other. So there's not really anywhere for the 7x00 to have a variation in its PCI bus that would make it different from the rest of the PowerSurge family.
