mini vMac is the way to run old software.  I have HyperCard running on my Intel machine now in an emulated MacPlus running 7.5.3.

http://minivmac.sourceforge.net/


I followed the instructions here:

http://www.nothickmanuals.info/doku.php/minivmac


I even wrote an AppleScript droplet which converts the .dsk file names to .dmg for file transfers between the emulator and 10.5.

on open (theFiles)
	repeat with f in theFiles
		switchName(f)
	end repeat
end open

on switchName(f)
	set fs to f as string
	tell my SmartString
		setString(f as string)
		if fs ends with ".dsk" then
			replaceStrings(".dsk", ".dmg")
		else if fs ends with "dmg" then
			replaceStrings(".dmg", ".dsk")
		end if
		set newF to lastToken(":")
	end tell
	tell application "Finder"
		set name of f to newF
	end tell
end switchName

When your image is .dmg named you can mount it in 10.x and copy stuff to it, then unmount it and rename it back to .dsk and you can use it in mini vMac.

System 7.5.3 even has AppleScript 1.1 installed.

Amazingly amusing for old farts.
