However, based on the comments you give I'd suspect that you're
having what people seem to be calling "frame slipping". There seem
to be some motherboards that react poorly with Zap cards (or their

revealing here.
Frame slips are NOT motherboard related!
A Frame slip is due to clocks at opposite ends of a circuit such as a
T1 running at different speeds. Either a buffer overflows and one
frame is thrown away or there is no data when a frame is needed so the
previous frame is repeated.
The solution is to have one end of the circuit supply the clock and
the other end derive the clock from the incoming signal.
True frame slips are not motherboard related. However, many people loose
samples (usually chunks of 8 or 160) due to motherboard (or possibly
BIOS) issues. Some motherboards seem far more prone than others to
loosing interrupts at the high rate these boards work. That might be to
do with the PCI latency settings, or PCI controller effeciency or a
bunch of other variables. However, the bottom line is people do loose
samples due to motherboard issues, and "frame slips", not entirely
unreasonably, tends to get used as a catch all term for these things.
