Thank you for your follow-up, tim .


Hi, robert

I purchased it from APDA (Apple Programmer's Developer's Association)
about 25 years ago.

Currently, you can get its image, changes, sources from here. (but it
seems lacking VM, sorry)

Apple Smalltalk-80 v0.4.zip
http://www.esug.org/data/Smalltalk/Squeak/History/

You can also read simple manual on this site.

Apple Smalltalk-80 manual

Even if you will able to get its VM, that is for very old Mac System
(ver 6.0.8 or so).
So, you also need Mac Plus emulation software (such as vMac mini), Mac
Plus' ROM file, System Software and so on.
