It'll work on any system that can run Java 1.4.2.  To do bootstrapping
over serial links, you do need to be supported by the RXTX library;
Linux, Solaris, Mac OSX are explicitly supported.  Audio links can be
pretty much any Java platform under the sun.  If you can go through
the pain of getting Java running on your Unix box, ADTPro is aimed at
making bootstrapping _much_ easier.

If you don't have a graphical terminal available, then ADTPro won't
work for you in any case.  You might try ADT ported to Unix:

You'll still need to get your Apple running DOS, though - and that's
detailed here:
