[Ham-Mac] Are you running OSX on your Mac ?

I'm still using a Classic II with my ham rig, mainly with a KamPlus 
for packet clusters and packet e-mail (through a local radio node 
into the internet).
I'd hoped for a logging program that would capture data from a 
Kenwood TS 570 S/G, but never found one. I use a paper log book.

I bought a TiBook, Griffin iMic, and a serial/USB converter expecting 
to use it for ham applications.  I tried Multimode X for PSK-31 
unsuccessfully. I haven't tried any new logging software.  I'm not 
opposed to using OS 9 Classic as well as OS X.

My "primary Mac" is a "Twentieth Anniversary Mac" in the kitchen 
boosted with a G3 processor, maxed at 128 Mb RAM, and a DSL 
connection, but it will never have OS X.  My new TiBook has an 
airport card and serves for QRZ lookups on the web while I'm hamming.

I'm open to suggestions about how to best integrate my computers and 
radio shack. I'd like to be using PSK-31 effectively.
