This one is great:

http://users.ipa.net/~dwighth/smalltalk/St76/Smalltalk76ProgrammingSystem.html

but doesn't mention meta-classes. On page 34 of Alan Kay's "The Early 
History of Smalltalk" paper there is a drawing labeled "Smalltalk-76 
Metaphysics". All classes were instances of the class Class object, 
which was a subclass of the class Object. Little Smalltalk initially 
had the same design (which makes all classes have the exact same set of 
class methods) but has moved to a more Smalltalk-80-like system in 
version 4.

There is a simulation in Squeak of Smalltalk-72, not 76.
