VPC 5 is really just a port of VPC 4 for Mac OS X with a few bits
re-rigged to work better in OSX (supposedly). VPC 4 works in 9.1 on any
PowerMac AFAIK. It'll be VERY slow on a 7500 though (if you have not
upgraded the CPU) so don't expect miracles. If you fit a G3/400/1MB
upgrade card it should be pretty usable though as long as you stick to
Windows 95 (I know 98 is better but it also requires a lot more CPU
power), it is on my iBook 300MHz (5.0.1 is slow on a G3).
