Then realize that when you say, "I read..." or "I heard..." without providing your source, people may find it hard to believe you, or they may take your suggestions with a rather large grain of salt.
Just a heads-up. Having such problems with organization and memory doesn't benefit anyone.

Yes, an iMac that can boot natively with OS 9 can do so over USB. However, the boot process is super-slow, as USB 2.0 is not supported in OS 9, and most Macs that boot OS 9 will have USB 1.1 ports.
An eMac USB 2.0 model, for example, has USB 2.0 ports, can't boot natively to OS 9, and also can't boot to OS X over the USB bus, unless the arcane Open Firmware commands are entered, then providing the USB boot.
That would be the only option on most PPC Macs to boot OS X through USB.
