But what are the things TT3 cannot do with OS X?  Is it destructive to
attempt, inadvertently or not, to defragment or to check volume structures
on an OS X volume?

I assume TTP3 can still do all the hardware tests on any dual-boot Mac.
xxxxxxxxx

Since I'm such a Devil-May-Care Guy, I decided to give TT3 a try on Panther.

Using the CD as a startup disc, it would not show OSX.  Instead, it opened 
as 9.2.1.

All of the tests are for 7.5 through 9.2.1.  The tests did work normally for 
9.2.1.

Then I allowed it to optimize the drive (30 gig).  It finished that task in 
only 12 hours!!  I haven't noticed any problems since, but Panther doesn't 
run any faster.  I haven't tried Classic mode.

I wish it would work with X but no way.  TTP4 works fine though.
