Im probably dreaming here but does anyone know of a virtual machine that will host Mac OS 9 by chance???
Since Im on a Mac Pro running Lion nowadays (replaced my G5 dual core last month), I can no longer use Apple/Emagic's Sound Diver or the editor software for my Nord Modular under OS X to edit my hardware synthesizer collection and this is something I REALLY need.. Both apps were PPC only and well, no Rosetta on here. Ive got my G5, two G4's and even a b&w G3 still, but using any of these would require me to move my mixing desk everytime, unhook the monitor AND my USB Emagic AMT8 MIDI interface, only to have to go put it all back on the Mac Pro when Im done editing sounds and going to work.. Virtual Box so far has satisified my need for my Nord Modular editor, it works perfect under Win XP, and since I have a seperate single MIDI interface just for it (the Nord has both a regular MIDI in/out and a second set specifically for communicating with the editor) it works fine.. However Sound Diver doesnt work at all and just hangs (from research I get the impression Emagic never quite updated it for XP since Apple bought them and killed development on it). I bought MIDI Quest a few years ago but MIDI Quest flat out ***** compared to Sound Diver, and only works about half the time as it is.
Worst case scenario I guess I can dig out my Win ME/98/2000 discs but that will probably break everything else I need to use XP for..
Mac Pro, Mac OS X (10.7.2), 2x2Ghz Quad
