I experienced the problem also on an O2 _without_ two ethernet cards (as
far as I know), i.e. a 'standalone' but networked, or not, O2.

This agrees with my experience not only of SGI, but also of the company
selling the 3rd party memory 'especially for SGI O2'. Must be some
bus/timing difference between the chips? In any case the SGI memory was
archived on the shelf. Long term storage with 'warning labels' ("SGI
inside").
Have a good day.
