Not sure if ImagePrint 4 will run but I use Virtual PC 5 with the Windows
2000 system loaded and I have not found anything that does not run properly.
To all intents and purposes you have have a proper Windows 2000 operating
system running on your Mac.

VPC is an excellent product.  I just switched to Mac and now I have a Mac
and a Windows 2000 PC on the same machine, and I can drag and drop files
between the two systems running simultaneously.

Just about all of the installed Mac hardware and ports will work with VPC.
