What I have done for this type of situation is to leave one of my

the OS 9 server, and the OS X boxes can get to it as well. I don't
know if this changed with Tiger, but through Panther this solution
worked great for me, with compacts (Plus, SE, SE/30), a Q840, and a
bunch of others. I had all of the classic systems networked via
PhoneNet, and I had a Beige G3 running OS 9 and LocalTalk Bridge. It
worked great.
Is there someplace with some details on how to setup a Mac running 9
as a "server" for older classic Macs? What kinds of software does it
need to run? How is it setup? How does it work with OS X Macs, etc?
Dylan,
As in OS X, you just turn on file sharing in OS 9. Then on the older
systems, you use Chooser to find and mount the OS 9 system's hard
drive. OS X clients will see it when you browse the network.
