Anyone ever find out why (fix?) a PB G3 freezes when writing to a CF card in the PCMCIA slot?

Anybody find a fix for a Wallstreet 233 or PDQ freezing when copying to the PCMCIA CF card yet? Works fine with extensions off. No CD or floppy. Tried resetting the PRAM 4 consecutive times. Once I put the CF card on an adapter in the HD cage on the PATA bus, it works fine, but I just wanted to be able to use the PCMCIA adapter to make CF cards for other Mac's without rebooting with no extensions every time, since there's no network without extensions. I tried Conflict Catcher, but couldn't figure this one out with all the freezing and reboots. I'm using a Raspberry Pi 2B running A2server on the network for file transfers to a Win10 desktop. I'm using this adapter:PCMCIA CF adapter.jpg
