Using the same System Folder to boot Classic and true OS 9 is not recommended, as Classic alters the System files in OS 9 to allow it o interact via OS X, rather than independently.

Ah, other discussions I'm involved in were pointing vaguely in this direction as well. I will try that. Thank you.

I'll put a classic installation on the OS 10.4.11 volume and use it for classic. And I'll reinstall the 9.2.2 installation on the 9.2.2 volume I've created and see if that solves the issues.

Geez, these things have gotten complicated. Or maybe it's just that I don't have the years of Mac magazine reading, that I did back when I used a IIci. I just can't stay interested in the magazine articles any more, not like I did fifteen+ years ago.
