We've got several older Macs running, 9600's, 8500's - even an old 6100 still in service. All have been upgraded to G3's with third party cards, use firewire and usb PCI cards. They run OS 9.1 all day long. We use them for batch processing, running an older scanner, maintaining job logs in FileMaker, and doing the kind of word processing and spreadsheet stuff I dread. - anything that would slow down production on our work stations.

The other consideration is that a 9600 is getting a bit long in the tooth. I made a conscious decision to rest one and not try any upgrades. Do I understand you have installed OS 9.1 on it? Is this wise? It strikes me that the time you have spent getting an old machine to work would have been better spent earning the money to buy a new G4.
