Thanks for your suggestion!

But now I really AM confused! If I understand the way Classic works, the
entire OS9 environment is a program that runs under OS X. This machine
always boots into OS X, and it uses Classic extraordinarily rarely. So I
don't think that the drivers in the OS 9 extensions folder are even seen by
the CPU unless Classic is running while the machine is trying to sleep.

I think I had to load something to make the card work in OS X (Adaptec SCSI
29160N for people who've lost their way in this thread), and it may be that
there are some files in OS X that I need to remove.

I guess I could test this by plugging the card into a machine that's never
seen it before and see if the card all by itself prevents sleep.
