    Hi Shaun,

    Thanks for the input! Glad to hear I'm not the only one

    In my case, both the SCSI and NIC are integrated on the motherboard, so I
    cannot really move them around... :)

    Also, as I mentioned, I tried a de0 (PCI card, not onboard, and it
    literally stopped the machine). Is the de0 driver also a problem?
