I'm going to install MacOSX PB on my iBook in a day or two (when my RAM gets delivered) and was wondering if the following peripherals would function:
1. Epson Stylus 740 printer (I've heard that it won't, but is there a hack or 3rd party driver?)
2. USB CDR drive (Iomega ZipCD, to be exact, using Toast Deluxe for burns)
3. Agfa SnapScan 1212u
4. Handspring Visor (obviously, the cradle)
Any info you could give, along with links to sites that have any necessary hacks or 3rd party drivers, would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!

I doubt any of the products you mention will work under MacOS X PB, don't know about classic though. You may have to wait until v1.0 is released. It is only BETA rememeber.

What if I install OSX on a new partition? When necessary, could I start up from the OS9 partition to use these periphs as normal?

Yes of course you can use everything as normal under OS 9.

You will not be able to use any of these under X or under Classic.
