PLEASE learn to bottom post.

Just to answer my own questions:

1) Yes, I could mount the iMac's HD in my Beige and backup the important files. I didn't write anything to it, though. Horribly bad memories of mixups of Apple HD drivers.

Good plan. Remember that there are a lot of files on OS X-based HFS+ disks that have filenames larger than OS 9 can handle.

3) I put the new HD's jumper in CS, just as the old one was. But maybe it's the same, or better, if I put it in Master. Where should it be according to Apple's book?

Apple does not support the modern Cable Select (CS) set-up for IDE drives. ALL ide drives must be jumpered appropriately as Master-alone, Master-with-Slave and Slave.

HTH,
