   I had it installed on a Powerbook G4 running OSX Tiger some years back. The   
   site does say it must run in "Classic Mode" under OSX, which was supported   
   until Leopard (I think). You shouldn't need a virtual box to run that, and if   
   you have a PowerPC-based machine, you can't run anything newer than Leopard   
   anyway.   
      
   According to the site, it can be installed on an Intel mac, Unix or Windows   
   computer using the 68k Mac emulator, Basilisk.   
      
   It's too bad no one's really working on it at the moment. It has a Python   
   runtime environment that looks interesting.   
      
    AP> I thought development for Mystic stopped in OSX.   
      
   Nope, he releases versions for Windows, Linux, ARM and OSX. It's a really   
   great package and easy to get networked too.
