AFAIR, there is a problem with having an SDISC and an SDISC-II in the PPC.. if your 2101's processor is an SDISC and you have an SDISC-II on the PPC, you will get the cannon noise.. and there's an issue with the board being a 10Mhz and the PPC having an SDISC-II on it.. you have to clock the motherboard to 20Mhz.. Dieter has/had a step-by-step on how to do it..
