Well I *think* Squeak 3.8.9beta7 was the last os-9 based VM. It might  
run under os-7.5.5 which was the earliest OS tested, mind 7.6.1 was a  
bit better.
Personally I found os-9.x way more stable but I'm not sure if this is  
an option for you.

You should look at the 3.8.x Release Nodes.rtf via
ftp://ftp.smalltalkconsulting.com
and decide which VM version might be best for you.
