Hi Lee,
Like you I use a Mac Book Pro running Snow Leopard. I can run 9 10 and
11 on it with out issues. According to FileMaker KB 9 should run, 8.5
won't. Here's a link to the kb.

You could get the new iMac and run Leopard, if you can find a copy of
the upgrade (downgrade?) version. Of course there is no guarantee that
OSX 10.5 would run on the latest hardware.
Hope this helps.

Hi,
I have raised this issue before, however, I'm wondering if anyone out
there has 8.5 or 9 running on Snow Leopard. My Macbook Pro with Snow
Leopard will run these version without any issue but one of my clients
has a new iMac running Snow Leopard and versions 8.5 and 9 will not
even open on his iMac.
I would like to upgrade my iMac but because I'm still using version 9,
and want to stay with it, I'm not prepared to buy a new iMac
My iMac runs 10.5.8 and both versions 8.5 and 9 work with no problem.
