When you partition/format a drive under OS X, Disk Utility requires that you specifically choose to install drivers that will also allow the drive to be accessed under OS 9. Perhaps that was not installed?

Just so I understand the implications of the above info;
This points out a potential dilemma for folks such as myself operating an
external FW HD on a legacy mac (s900) w/ a firewire PCI card, which cannot
use the Apple drive setup utility.
Does this mean my firewire HD operating under 9.1 may not be accessible on a
newer Apple running X and vise versa ?

Drifting toward speculation on my part here... having said that, I believe that OS X has no problems with drives formatted under OS 9, but OS 9 may have problems with drives formated by OS X Disk Utility if the "Make accessible to OS 9" switch is not set. Third-party drivers would have to have their own answers to this. I would think that the driver utility that comes with the firewire device (e.g. Intech HD Speedtools) should have its own way of addressing this issue of being seen by either OS.
