Also, check out -- I think it is described in the Green Book edited 
by Glen Krasner -- the Smalltalk-78 system done by Dan Ingalls for 
the 86 processors we had in the Notetaker at PARC. IIRC, this only 
had about 6-8K of actual machine code for the lowest kernal of the VM 
and ran the whole system in a fairly small amount of RAM (no hard 
disk on this machine).

Cheers,

Alan
