Q:
MAC: problems with accelerator cards (G3)
 
A:
Product: Platinum, Gold, Silver, LOGIC-Audio, MicroLogic-AV, LOGIC, Discovery, MicroLOGIC, SoundDiver, SoundSurfer, WaveBurner, ZAP, Hearmaster

Description:
Crashes, strange behavior.

After installing a G3 card (not a Maccelerate) into a PPC 8500 many crashes occur, both when booting and while running.

Explanation:
This problem is probably because of slow Level 2 cache and/or the bus clock frequency.

Suggestion:
1. deinstall the Level 2 cache, or use a faster cache
2. Try different frequency relation between the Processor and/or bus clock frequency.
3. After installing an acclerator card, reset the motherboard.
