Thanks to one and all for your help. I was able to make a disk image using Superduper when I remembered a Mac formatted hd I keep hooked up to the 9600. It copied just fine there---no bad descriptor messages. When I mounted it and booted from the os9 system it worked fine, just no mouse since the bluetooth drivers werent there. Dead in the water. Your suggestion of the Mighty Mouse saved the day since my original wired mouse had died long ago. I was then able to change the boot system and restart in os 10.3.9 and all is well.
I haven't yet installed Leopard and the extra ram. I have them both. I got crucial ram for the user slot. I really need that machine so I hesitate to try the factory slot upgrade. Thermal paste----and all those wires. Any particular issues I should know about before doing the Leopard? Besides the clock speed hack. I hate system upgrades.
