I'm afraid I don't know anything about your card, but the data 
corruption on your slave drive caught my attention.

Just yesterday, I was reading this message:

http://www.xlr8yourmac.com/IDE/BeigeG3ROM_slave/BeigeROM_slavecorruption.html

which also talks about data corruption on a slave drive, albeit on a 
Beige G3 instead of a B&W.

They managed to fix it with a shorter IDE cable.

It could be worth trying if you need a second drive, and your card won't 
work.

Cheers,
