Thanks for the help! I have a western digital 18 GB that I just got from macResQ (68 pin adapted to 50 pin - works fine with OS 9 and FWB). Can I just install OS X on a 1 GB apple scsi drive and then use the 18 GB for everything else? Right now I have a quantum silver lining 1.2 GB and the Western 18 GB scsi. I do have another apple 1 GB laying around I can use. The 9500 has - or course - no on-board video, only the ixmicro card that apple supplied when it was sold. Some say it won't work (very likely) Some suggest the ATI Rage Pro. 16 megs ram as a cheap supported OS X video card.
Thanks again to everyone.
