It looks possible just glancing through the modifications that were made, but it
might be an awful lot of work.  A cheap 386 with a 1.2 gig HDD should work fine
for a basic system though.

If you (manually) patch the relevant files to be somewhat like what this site
suggests, I would give odds that the remaining problems (if any) could be ironed
out.  (Don't quote me on that, I am terrible with macintosh systems. They don't
like me!)
