So you're running the Sonnet card with a different driver/extension? I 
take it that Powerlogix sells a comparable productor writes software for 
processor upgrades???

by "works fine" do you mean that your G3 upgrade loads before BootX 
(making the processor available to Linux) AND then BootX gets you into 
YDL???

Well, I've kind of solved the problem anyway...got a G4-400 tower from a 
friend who just bought a G5 :-) but since I still have two of the 5500's 
I'd kind of like to get them functioning as dual boot OS9.2  and YDL 3.0 
with the G3 working in each one, so I'll probably try the Powerlogix 
idea.  Could be that your solution will work on a 9500 but not the 
all-in-one 5500.
