[muglo] 7100 problems

hi all--

   just got a 7100/80 M/B and am having trouble. I had HUGE problems 
installing OS 8 (many finder errors, forcing restart). Then finally 
with OS 8 installed, I installed OS 9, and on restart i got an 
extensions error. (actually bus error, and told me to restart with 
extensions off).  Then on restart the harddisk was unreadable!

I thought, ok, maybe it's the HD... so I swapped a known , good HD, 
and installed OS 9 using a different mac. When I put the good OS9 HD 
in the 7100, I get the same thing.

Everytime I "restart with extensions off" I get a blank hard disk 
icon... and then on boot with a CD, the machine says the hard drive 
is unreAdable.

So I dont know what is going on.
Is 9 not compatible with a 7100/80?
seems weird.
perhaps I got a dud motherboard.

any suggestions appreciated.
this has already taken me some days to figure, and still it's a no-go.

regards,
~Alex
