Success! G4 12-in PowerBook now dual-boots into Tiger & Leopard. When in the former, I have access to OS 9 stuff via the Classic environment.
Project: add a 25 GB partition on the 12-inch PowerBook’s HD to allow for OS X 10.4.11 installation. Done. Now creating a disk image of another Mac’s 8 GB Tiger installation. I plan to use Disk Utility to restore that dmg to the new partition.
Nope. That didn’t work. Ice hasn’t improved ankle pain, commencing anti-gout treatment.
@morrick Fine. I've been contacted by a fellow who wants to get ClarisWorks & SimpleText documents off his father's Mac Performa 580CD, a model that was discontinued early in 1996.
The thing still boots OK (OS 7.5.3) and, since the IDE HD just slides out, I'll put it into an external drive case & use either LibreOffice on the MacBook Air or AppleWorks 6 on the G4 PowerBook to extract the documents. The Docs folder is 22 MB.

Velcro was so named by its inventors because it used loops like velour and hooks inspired by crochet hooks.
