Does InstantTrack run on the Macintosh?

Amazingly, yes. Using one of several PC emulation programs available for the Macintosh, InstantTrack will work. It has been tested on an old 68K Macintosh under SoftPC (no longer available), and on an iBook running Connectix Virtual PC 5.0 (now available as Microsoft Virtual PC) under Mac OS X version 10.1.2. There are a few cosmetic imperfections, but it does work. It also works under dosbox, a free emulator for DOS games, which can be installed easily using fink, though there may be some problems with timekeeping in dosbox. It should also work under other emulation configurations. If you’re a hard-core Macintosh fan, though, you’ll probably want a native Macintosh program instead. Check the AMSAT-NA Software Catalog for Macintosh satellite tracking programs. No results have been reported yet from users of Intel-based Macs.
