Spencer (I'm assuming that's your name) -
 
Here I can be of some limited help.  I think "bootcamp" only works on
the Intel machines.  The Virtual PC version I have is probably the
latest one (I say that because the Intel machines were introduced
shortly after I installed Virtual PC on my computer.)     If I have
occasion to try your Midimod2 on it, I'l let you know what happens.  
 
I would suggest you try your old version of Virtual PC.  You may
qualify for an inexpensive upgrade if that proves to be necessary.  Or
you might be able to find an inexpensive copy of the upgraded Virtual PC
on eBay.
 
Regards.
 
Mike

Greetings Mike,

I also have a G5 pre intel and have been meaning to try my utilities on
it but do not have a copy of virtual pc here. It is in some drawer in
another house and was bought a million years ago for use with win 98
maybe. I have a few copies of XP that I bought recently to stockpile for
new computers that might come with Vista so I could install this on the
Mac. Do I need to buy a new virtual PC? What about bootcamp? Any ideas
on what makes sense to get XP working on this G5?
