Best Mac to run SD on?

2010-04-12 by Gino

I apologize if this has been covered before, but I just can't find a specific answer after searching the posts. Got this Emax Rack SE, HD with SD 1.2 disks.  Wondered what the best older mac to do the job was? I can get Pluses, SEs, Classics, PowerPC, and G4s all day just wanted to pick the right one for the job. Any advice would be greatly appreciated. I would be running this via serial not MIDI. 

Also came with the following preset disks if anyone looking for a copy of one of these:
