I think Starmax users best hope is Sonnet, last time I looked they said they would "probaly" be able to get OS X running with L2 upgrade cards. But even if OS X will be possible the 160MB RAM limitation will certainly effect it's usefullness. I think 9.1 is probally the parctical limit of the hardware.
