I did the firmware update and have Tiger running on the 10 gig HD
now. I bought an 80 gig HD for it today and I'm going to put it in
and see how it runs. It has a place for the Airport Carrier thingy.
Guess I have to get that to use the Airport card that I have. I do
like it quite a bit...I find I get a much better picture at 800x600
resolution than 1024x768 which I put it in originally. And yes, I
want to run OS 9 on it also.

Tim, when you exchange your HD, make sure you get a 160 G one. It's
true that iMac can't see more that about 130 G of that, but then
you still get quite a few more gigs than with a 120 G (which is
less formatted), and HDs of these sizes cost about the same.
And when you get your HD replaced, be sure to partition it during
formatting - AND include OS9 drivers. Good idea to have a smallish
partition for OS9; whenever your OSX partition fails/corrupts, you
can then force the iMac to boot from the OS9 side by holding down
the key sequence: Option-Apple-Shift-backspace. Very handy!
Did you do the firmware update before OSX? Or else do it now, to
avoid problems. To upgrade firmware you must boot in OS9
