Does it help or hinder to have the lean basic "Classic" version on
its own partition? My recollection is that its best not to have two
system folders on the same drive, or at least on the same partition.
So I'm guessing you'd at least want to have Classic and the
customized System 9 on separate drives/partitions.
Which leads me to ask, does the drive at SCSI id 0 "better" ? For
example, if you have two hard drives in an S900 (which I do), is it
better to put the larger drive, the one big enough to hold OS X and a
lean Classic OS 9, at SCSI 0, and put the customized OS 9 somewhere
else?
One last question: if you have a customized OS 9 to which you can
boot for older apps (or to use older external devices), when and why
would you invoke Classic from within OS X? Wouldn't you be better off
rebooting into a system in which those occasional apps would be
native?
Thanks,
George
