Do you have an extra bay to install a second drive? Another option is to 
buy an external drive (probably FireWire for your model) That second 
drive could have OS 9.2 installed and you could use the Startup Drive 
Control Panel to switch back and forth. I don't know if there are any 
issues with the newer computer's hardware . .but I have been doing this 
for years. . using multiple drives with different versions of the OS.
