G3 upgrade cards unstable? via MacWeek By Cameron Crotty >Installing a G3 upgrade card in an older Mac seems like a great way to get high performance for a low price, but there may be a tarnish on the silver lining: An incompatibility between the PowerPC 750 processor and the ROMs in PowerPC 604-based systems can create serious system instability, and the consequences range from nonfunctioning I/O cards (e.g. SCSI, video) to complete system crashes. In extreme cases, the instability may damage or destroy the data stored on a user's hard drive.< macweek.zdnet.com FYI, at Tekserve we recommend/sell/install the Newer and Mactell cards. The Sonnet cards we do not currently recommend (though will install if someone buys and brings it to us) after some early bad experiences.
