Are you talking about the Lisa/Mac Smalltalk by Apple? The one that
would host Squeak so many years later?
I have a set of 7 400KB floppies with what is version 0.7 (I think - it
is copyright 1985 by Apple) of that Smalltalk. It actually did run on a
512KB Mac, but barely. I have just tested and it seems that all seven
disks are still readable (not much from back then is). They are:
1) 1.Smalltalk-80.sources
2) 2.Smalltalk-80.sources
3) 3.Smalltalk-80.sources
4) 1.Level1.image
5) 4.Smalltalk-80.sources, 2.Level1.image, Level1.changes, Sample
Files
6) (bootable) Level0.changes, Smalltalk, DivJoin, System Folder
7) Level0.image
There was no box or manuals, however, which is why I asked above if we
are talking about the same thing. There was only a short (ten pages or
so) text obviously printed out in an early LaserWriter.
Too bad my old Mac clone doesn't have a network connection and newer
Macs have no floppy drives, so I can't copy these somewhere safer
before they go bad :-(
