Ok, there is a Mac 960 32 bit version here. Seems to work for me.... but it is not terribly feature complete. Please note, it upgrades (renames) any si4 databases to .si960 - which are then unable to be opened by the normal app.
https://sourceforge.net/projects/scidvspc/files/mac/ScidvsMac960-4.21.dmg/download Please don't ask for a 64 bit version. 64 bit Mac Tcl has never worked properly, and imho macOS Catalina and beyond are similarly broken by Apple's dollar/iPhone obsession.
