I'm very pleased with the drive: faster, quieter than the original. The staff at OWC were very helpful.
One thing I learned the hard way: I partitioned the drive and formatted with the Disk Utility from OS X.3, but then found I was unable to mount the partitions in OS 9. I was able to boot into OS 9 with a firewire drive (my old internal drive in an external firewire enclosure, also from OWC) and format the partitions in OS 9 and update the drivers. This was after I installed OS X on one partition and restored my OS 9 data to the other, so the install/restore time was wasted by the reformat.
I then found I couldn't boot from the restored OS 9 partition; I finally did a fresh install starting with OS 9.0.4 and updating through 9.2.2, then restored my OS 9 data using the OS X Disk Utility and leaving "erase destination" unchecked.
Now everything works wonderfully. If you are planning a dual-boot, multiple-partition disk, I hope my experience helps. If anyone has a better procedure than my trial-and-error debacle, please share it with us.
