If you want to emulate Apple hardware on x86, you're talking Opteron
power, and an OS install is still likely to take over 24 hours. Perfectly
doable though. PearPC is the emulator. There are also programs such as
Basilisk that emulate even older Mac _software_ rather than hardware.
There is also vMac, which hardware emulates a model from 1986 called the
512K Enhanced (not the Mac Plus, as it claims). Are you planning on
running the theater lighting software on those things?
