As is evident in the SMSBrowser source- it refers to the Siren class.  

I've decided to use SMS instead of Magma for Dynapad.  Mostly because
it'd be more work than I expected to get Magma working in a 2.8 image,
but also because SMS is substantially smaller.  

Has anyone done any performance comparisons of SMS and Magma?

Anyone know what became of SqueakAttic?  Would be another thing for
OODBers to look at as a possibility.

Ah, swell. I can vouch for that- Minnesota is an incredible place to
live.  And the MN State Fair starts tommorow to boot! :)
