[net.lang.st80] Smalltalk on the Atari ?

hmm@unido.UUCP (02/10/86)

Has anybody else thought of implementing Smalltalk on the Atari super-toy,
the 520 ST ?  I think it should be possible with 1 MByte RAM and a 20M
Harddisk.  Apple has done something like this for their MacIntosh, but if
I understand it correctly, Apple and some others (Tektronix et al) had some
deal with Xerox about special licensing.  So maybe it would not be possible
to sell such an implementation because the license fees are much too high.
Does anyone know more about the feasibility of such a thing ?  We could do
it here just to test it, a BS II port to a Sys V machine has been done by
Georg Heeg here <georg@unido.uucp> and is running very well.
