MacLoggerDX requires OS 9 or OS X (I don't know if Bekir's Macs are  
compatible with these).  Another approach might be to load the PPC  
version of Linux on the Mac hardware.  Linux has some nice digital  
apps and the combination of gMFSK, hamlib and Xlog works quite well.   
I set up my Mini to dual boot OS X and Ubuntu Linux although I don't  
use it much because the Broadcom wireless chip isn't yet supported in  
the Linux kernel (it's almost there, however).
