I just setup up the same config.  The INT2 makes a huge
difference.  Also fiddle with some of the ROM patches
pertaining to the SCSI stuff in the CSPPC boot menu.
I don't remember what I did, but my fiddling also help.
Now, if someone knows of any AT or ATX PSU hacks for the
3000 desktop, that will be great.  I feel that the board
seems starved on the original PSU.

I think you will be OK with leaving the onboard ram
in the machine.  The CSPPC memory is suppose to be accessed
first before the motherboard memory is accessed.

Interesting, I am noticing some weird issues with my SCSI
bus on the native 3000 scsi as a result of using a CSPPC.
I wonder if the SCSI chip revision on the motherboard is
a factor in this.  I believe mine is a revision 4?  Maybe
something else, but I do know it is not the latest.  Funny
that your SCSI slowed down to the slowest device.  Normally
you are OK as long as your fastest protocal device are on
the inside of the chain and slowest at the end, at least
it has worked for me.
