How is the flash drive formatted? What brand? Most flash drives are in FAT32. Some of the later SanDisk units have problems with Macs. I suspect that OS 9 does not like whatever format is on the flash drive. See if you can reformat it into HFS+. That should work fine with both iMacs, but then it will likely not be compatible with Windoze PCs.
