Pro Tools 8, ha!! Current versions of Pro Tools are 64bit and will run fine on any current OS. PT8 is absolutely ancient, and no, it won't run on a current OS. It's just possible it might work running in a virtual machine with a very old Mac OS, but given the deep hooks into the hardware I'd be surprised).

Pro Tools compatibility chart is here:

Looks like you'd have to try Snow Leopard (!) to see if it would run... Obviously, best thing to do is to just get a current version of Pro Tools.
