I have a PM G3 Beige MT running OS 9.2.2. Up until now it's been stable running with:
1. Flashed SiI3112 SATA card
2. USB card
3. Farallon FastEtherTX 10/100 card
Well, I couldn't leave well enough alone and recently tried swapping a Rage128 card in place of the USB card and now I get a Finder Type 11 error (Illegal Instruction) when booting the Mac. I've tried swapping in another ethernet card (Realtek something or other), and still no dice. Any combination of Rage128 & Ethernet PCI cards results in that Finder Type 11 error. Swapping cards into different PCI slots makes no difference.
Without any ethernet card installed and with the Rage128 installed, the machine boots just fine.
Has anyone experienced 9.2.2, Rage128 and ethernet PCI card incompatibilities in one of these Macs? Any fix recommended? I mean I can limp along with the onboard ethernet but if there was some way to get all the cards to work, that would be ideal.
Thanks!
