Anyone tried using a Sonnet ATA/100 IDE PCI card in an 8500 or 9500 (or similar), and noticed any conflicts?

1. OS X 10.3.9 system freeze when ATA/100 attached Seagate 80GB used in conjunction with an M-Audio 2496 PCI sound card
2. Slows down system performance.
3. Audio stutter/failure in an 8500 under Jaguar when used with an M-Audio 2496 card.

I have seen serious performance problems on both Beige G3s and pre-G3 boxes when trying to use multiple PCI cards. The PCI bridge on the Powersurge (pre-G3) boxes like yours was particularly bad, but even the G3's PCI support was marginal.

I had to quit using the 10/100 ethernet card in my "Beige G4" because of the competition for the bus between it and video were bad enough it even hurt mouse movement.
