I have been following about this and wonder if some of this is true for B&W
G3 too.
There is a LOT of mythology building up regarding OSX. FWIW The 8Gb limit does NOT apply. You should be able to boot from any System folder on any partition.
I am in the process of replacing my 6 GB HD with a 60. I'm using 9.2.2 but want to install both 9 & 10 so I can try out 10 and still have 9 for a lot of apps I have. Plan to partition the HD. Do I need to install 9 & 10 on the same partition?
No. In fact, I'd recommend, in your case, to NOT replace the 6gb drive but just add the 60 to the mix. Install 10 and another OS9 (for use as a classic environment in OS X) on the 60 gb drive, and leave your existing (running) OS 9 installation completely alone. That way you can always boot back to your current configuration.
Also - re: the classic mode. I have disks to install 9 & 10. But I understand 10.2 is much better than 10 - can you upgrade to 10.2 and still run in classic mode?
Yes! Classic is going to be with us for a very long time.
