2) when networked to my iMac333 also running panther, the iMac can only see the drive that X is installed on. It also happens to be the only HFS+ formatted drive. The other two are HFS. Is that why they are invisible to the iMac?
No good reason I can think of, HFS is fully compatible with OS X and I have shared HFS drives across OS X machines before, most notably MO disks.
HFS and HFS+ are not seen across the network, they are just mounted volumes.
Most likely the other drives are not shared. The boot volume may be getting shared by default.
3) when I use the extension manager in 9 during startup, after the sytem boots, the finder goes into an endless loop of quiting. I have to do a hard shutdown to break the cycle. It is fine on reboot.
This could be a lot of things. Try a desktop rebuild for starters (the desktop files are read as finder starts up. If they are corrupt then Finder could bomb, relaunch try to load the corrupt files again, bomb...
What is the effect of using Extension Manager. If you boot without using it does it boot okay? When you use it, what do you do with it, ie what extensions do you enable or disable?
Try booting while holding the Shift key down (until the Extensions Disabled message appears. If it boots this way then you have a problem with some extension.
