I'll consider bundling a 3.2.x VM app folder which will contain 3.2.x 
for classic mac OS 7.5.5 thru til 9.x and of course be a mach-o app 
for os-x.

Any mac related issues should thunder to my doorstep by monday for 
consideration.

But I can't say anyone has complained about VM stability, however 
there are issues with sound input under os-x for some people.

Which image you use is a question, the VM will support images made 
back some murky distance. Clarification of how far back is welcome, 
there was some major changes in the open/gl area that makes some 
older images show black.
