The Power Macs will run PC software with an emulator, but quick it ain't. Why 
not just buy the Mac versions of the software instead. The ULI hardware is 
interchangable as it just connects through the serial port. Mac and DOS 
versions of all the software are available. We use 7 Dells and 1 Mac in our 
physics classrooms, with ULIs on all of them and they're functionally 
identical (or "identical enough" anyway).
