Since you have other drives you probably don't want to mess with much OS 9 on the 18G SCSI, maybe a <1G partition for safety. Then give half the rest to the OS X system partition and the rest to a user partition (in case you need to trash and reinstall the system cold, you don't want any of your own files there).
That remebered me about question whether and how I can tel OS X on which
drive I would like to have application folder and my home folder in order
not to mix System and other files.
Is it possible?
See <http://www.bombich.com> for details on doing it.
I read somewhere that it's possible to move virtual memory swap file to other disk. Is it safe? I'm also going to get 18 GB SCSI HD.
Yes, there are also directions for moving the swap file also on the Bombich site.
The only folder that seems resistant to moving is Applications; people have tried the same thing as the Users trick with it, but System updates have wiped out the symbolic link and recreated an actual applications folder.
