I plugged it in, but nothing appeared on the desktop.

And it did work when I plugged it into my OS X machine. I dragged a few files into just to try it out and then thought I was going to transfer them to my wife's machine to complete the experiment, but her machine didn't seem to see it.

Two things:

1: First follow Karl's suggestion about installing the USB mass storage drivers. If that doesn't solve it, 2: Plug it into the OS X machine and then reformat it. It may have a funky format that OS 9 can't understand (for instance, OS 9 machines sometimes have problems with U3 units, reformatting them will kill off the U3 junk and sometimes get them to start working under OS 9).
