So its either I have *two* machines with bad, but only slightly bad,

have borked PCI slots in one way or another - design faults or
idiosyncratic interpretation of the PCI standard. I've seen it with
HP, Compaq, Digital m/bs just to name big names, smaller mfrs also get
it wrong. Sometimes just using another slot helps. Sometimes you need
to try a totally different motherboard.
Maybe wrong to 'blame' the m/b mfr - it could just as easily be an
out-of-spec or creatively interpreted PCI standard on the card.
My guess is that the eeprom was trashed.
