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.
Indeed. It's unix so it cares not what filesystem it uses, if it's mounted then it's there in the directory structure under /Volumes.
Most likely the other drives are not shared. The boot volume may be getting shared by default.
If you log into AFP as an Admin level user in OS X you have all drives available by default, including removable media. If you log in as a User level user you only have access to defined shares, which by default is you own user folder and the Public folder of other people's.
You could try an OS X app I use for network share admin called 'SharePoints'. That allows you to define your own shared folders etc. By default these shares are NOT available if you login as a Admin user however (the principle being you have access to all the drives anyway...).
