try parallels desktop. it allows you to run windows based software on a mac. you will have to purchase the software but you can download a free trial to make sure the software works correctly before purchasing the full version

Hmm a very nice ornament, but sadly not a tool Ron.

My advice would be buy a business PC with windows XP pro on it, it will save you much bashing of the head against the wall. You know how to use it and all your previous software will work like it should, not to mention all the flying bits your plugging into it.

If you have a copy of windows on a CD/USB drive you can try running windows as a virtual machine on your mac. It can be a little fiddly with USB devices though.

But worth a try if you download the macOS version on https://www.virtualbox.org/wiki/Downloads
