No, there should be no difficulty at all exchanging files between an S900 running OS 9.1 and a newer Mac running OS-X. You just set up AppleTalk to connect via Ethernet on the S900. Then you go to chooser and select AppleShare. The names of networked machines should show up; you choose one; type in user name and password; and choose volumes from the OS X machine to mount. Thereafter, you can have one or more of the new machine volumes mounted on your S900 desktop. You can share files by drag and drop. I run OS X on my daughter's S900 these days. But I ran 8.6 and then 9.1 for a long, long time; even after I'd updated my own G4 Tower to OS X. File exchanging was a breeze. Once you've networked your S900 in and have given file exchange a try, if you have any difficulty, I'd be glad to walk you through any problems. Good luck.
