You can run VMWare 10 or 11 on 10.13, but that one apparently doesn't officially support any newer macOS as a guest (VMWare 10 doesn't support 10.14, for example), and it definitely won't run on a 2008 Mac. And the list of supported guest operating systems for VMWare 12 excludes the oldest ones. It seems that Parallels is more friendly to old software & hardware, so I believe I know what I'll use next, thanks a lot for the hint. > As for a support matrix, the vendors’ respective knowledge bases (and/or > Google) are your best resource.

I'm trying out my first VM there right now. Mojca
