A "G5" isn't all that new any more, but I think you must be able to run OS 9 right? I don't know if Mosaic will run in Classic mode or not, but if it did I would imagine the MIDI features might not work.

You would probably get a better chance of getting your question answered by posting in the General Mac area.

I'm not totally sure about the following because of the time that's lapsed, but here's how I remember it. Mosaic doesn't run in Classic mode. Early G4 machines up to a certain point would start up under both OS9 and OSX (as opposed to running classic under OSX after startup in OSX), so it might have been possible on one of those. I bought a G4 imac around October 2003 (maybe 2004) and that just missed out by a couple of months being able to start up in OS9, after a certain serial number that capability stopped.
