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.
