When I try to launch Mini vMac on my new iMac running Catalina (10.15.7), I get an error message ("The application 'Mini vMac' can’t be opened.") If I right-click or control-click on Mini vMac and select "Open" (such as to enable launching an application that is not registered with Apple), I get the same error message.
However, I can successfully launch Mini vMac on my MacBook Pro running High Sierra (10.13.6).
'Any ideas?
Thanks,
George
P.S. My ultimate goal is to get a copy of SonyTest 7.0 onto my Macintosh SE to help me diagnose a floppy drive problem. I think the floppy drive heads need alignment, but the drive might have another problem. (It is not as simple as the eject motor needing cleaning, lubrication or a replacement gear. All that has been done.) I do not have an alignment floppy, but I do have fairly serious electronic diagnostic equipment (o'scope, etc.) Any hints on diagnosing problems with 800K floppy drives, schematics, etc. would be welcome, too.

Re: Can't launch Mini vMac on Catalina
Mini vMac runs fine here on Catalina.
Could it be that you you have an old 32-bit only version of Mini vMac? Try a newer Mini vMac build.
