Motu 324 Pci - Mac Extensions Load Erratic

After installing a 324 PCI card my extension icons load in the following way: The PCI driver first. then it disappears and the normal extensions load in the following manner: the first ext. loads at the lower left, then the next three appear a few spaces higher on the screen. Next, down to the bottom for two more ext's. Then the final extensions (4or5) load in an up down up fashion. Whew!
Have any of you Mac users heard of this one. I've tried renaming the ext's but to no avail.

Monitoring And Recording

Hope I, as a novice, can explain this: Here's my setup 1) an older Mac (G3 500mhz .5 gigs RAM) with OS 9.2 2) Motu 2408 interface with 324 PCI card 3) Digital Performer and 4) Older 4 channel mixer.
Here's the problem: I have a stereo audio mixdown of midi tracks that I want to monitor and simultaneously record Bass on a separate track so that I can apply plugins to the bass and not the mix. Then put the bass in after.
However, I have to use the mixer as a preamp to boost the bass, so that when I record the bass goes directly onto the audio tracks (or, I should say that the bass and the existing audio tracks get recorded together) instead of a separate track for the Bass only.
The Question: Is there a way, without any additional equiptment, that I can accomplish this? Hummm, I think I explained it.
