my Sawtooth,
and if that could be used with OS 9 on the Blue G3.
You will definitely need to replace the System folder on the moved
hard drive. The classic OS (pre X) was custom installed for each
computer type.
I have an old boat anchor Seagate drive with all my OS 9 stuff on it
running 9.1. It or a FW disk imaged from it have booted my 7600, my
G3 beige, a 5300 and a Pismo powerbook, and my G4 GigE.
SOME hardware drivers, notably Firewire and USB, will not install if
there's no corresponding hardware present at install time, but the
system folder is universal. System specific System Folders largely
went out in the mid 7.x era.
