It seems like there's a key combo you can hold down at
boot time to force the "other" OS to start (X<->9), but
I can't remember what it is now. In the olden days, you
could boot off an external SCSI device using Delete-Opt-
Control-Shift (or DOCS for short).

Yes. One thing you might also consider is using Mac-on-
Linux; it can run either OSX or OS9 from a console or
inside an X window. I found that *very* handy when I
needed to fire up Quicken but didn't want to reboot. But
you should max out the RAM if you're going to try that
stunt with OSX....
