that exhibited the same symptoms (and more) as yours. It would be my
suggestion to:
Remove your processor daughtercard and take a very good look at the large

I've received a cardbus Adaptec 1480A SlimSCSI pcmcia card and was

Laurent, you are totally correct. I have a G3 cpu in my Pismo and wouldn't be able to
utilize iDVD. I understand that Toast should do ok without a G4 so I'll give it a wing
from there. I know it came later in my original post but I'm probably going to migrate
this over to my Cube with a 450mhz

I think you are more accurately describing Apple's problem in the first

I should have expected the sleep questions. I've been reading the list long enough to
know that people would quickly point out the folly of shutting down. Does anyone have
