I'll leave the more advanced technical answers about HDD's and eMac 
OS-X to others who have direct knowledge.

Classic runs in the background. You can have it load when you start up. 
Or if you have limited memory resources you can set  it to  load only 
when you start up an application that requires OS-9. (I have 750 MB RAM 
and have never had memory problems even with Photoshop.... but then I'm 
a hobbyist not a production shop). When a Classic app runs the screen 
quickly changes to the Classic look even including the rainbow colored 
Apple. It's really a no brainer.

And for me, using X-Assist, a shareware app that returns the OS 9-like 
application switching to the upper right hand corner, makes life with 
two systems more comfortable. (In Jaguar it was in theory replaced by 
the Dock)
