[squeak-dev] Raspberry Pi - A few questions about I/O

I'm looking at the files recently released for running Squeak on RPi and 
I figure to do that I need the actual RPi. But I have a few questions 
about it.

The Pi takes an SD Card. I need to order a NutPi from the Pi people, put 
it on the SD card, and slot it in? Or does the NutPi come on an SD card?

The image, changes, and sources would go on the same SDCard?

What's a good monitor and keyboard/mouse? It wants HDMI, and I don't see 
a jack on my Mac for that. I do think I see one on my Xoom tablet, so 
maybe I could use that. Is any screen recommended?

And the mouse/keyboard seems to have one USB jack. Is there a 
mouse/keyboard rig that uses only one USB jack? Instead of two?

Does the Pi come with the power cable, or do I need to go to Bob's House 
Of Cables and get something specific?

My justification for getting involved is that I think looking at how the 
vm is compiled and built for the Pi might be a little simpler to grasp 
than the panoply of files usually see that list every known operating 
system. If it's not, don't tell me. That's my justification for a new 
toy and I'm sticking to it.

Thanks,
Chris
