  Yes, it will run on a Mac, provided you purchase a $1500 dongle for
it. (the dongle is an Amiga.)  NewTek is making the Toaster into
a standalone unit, but this unit will contain an Amiga in it. So
in reality, the Toaster isn't running on the Mac, it's running on the
Amiga using the Mac as nothing but an input device.
