The referance to 'only for a Power Macintosh' means that it will not run on
older - non PowerPC based systems.  About 5 years ago, Apple switched over to
the PowerPC line of processors.  It previously used the 68000 series, the last
of which (that they used) was the 68040 at approximately 50 mhz.

There may be some system incompatibilites with OS 8.5 or 8.6 and HIARCS, but I
doubt it.
