Have you tried changing the load order. Sometimes a problematic extension is
only problematic when it loads before or after another extension or even a
3-way conflict.

> Today I thought I'd upgrade my PowerBook 1400 (Sonnet G3 upgraded) to Mac OS

> from my old Mac OS 8.6 system folder in the new one. At the next restart,
> the computer froze during the icon parade, after which it would no longer
> boot from the internal drive. Turns out I had a corrupted System suitcase.

> So, the hunt for the culprit was on. Not a fun hunt, because every time the
> computer crashed, I had to reinstall the System suitcase from the Mac OS 9
> CD. But I found the offending extension: Farallon PC Card, the driver for my
> Farallon PN595 Ethernet card. I'm not to thrilled with that, because this
> card is my gateway to the Internet. So for now, it's back to Mac OS 8.6.
>
> I have checked at Farallon's web site, but I do apparently have the latest
> version of the driver (1.2.1). I have searched MacFixit, PowerBook Source,
> you name it. You people are my last hope. Has anyone gotten the Farallon
> PN595-TP Ethernet PC Card to work under Mac OS 9? Preferably on a PowerBook
> 1400?
