Ah, I should ask is this a 68K powerbook duo?
Really one should consider upgrading your hardware, although laptops
are more expensive, you can I believe find G3 or G4 based desktop
machines for I'd think < 25 pounds, or nearly free since these
machines are 10 years old, hint worthless in the eyes of the public.

I'd suggest looking in second hand stores, salvation army, thrift
stores, computer stores, etc for oh say an 8600, extra ram again
likely a 5 pound cost, and a monitor, pick your size, varies I think
from free to a few 10 of pounds, I've seen plenty disgarded because
of people switching to LCD screens, you'll likely need a VGA adaptor
plug to use a PC based monitor.
With only 4MB you are hard pressed to have any type of performance
since the 2.8 or 3.x series of images were 8-9MB in size.
I did build a MVC VM for Dan in 2001 (3.0alpha9MT) which fit in 1MB
of memory using an image he made that was a 588Kb Squeak 2.2. image
of sept 23rd, 1998.
If you want these please let me know. Lastly I think for 68K the
last VM might be a 3.0.21 flavour, we transitioned in that time
period from a classic powerpc/68k VM to carbon based powerpc/68K VMs
to Mach-o non CFM os-x only VMs.
