Well, if anyone can find that Smalltalk that runs on the Apple II, we can
have the rather surreal experience of running a Smalltalk on a virtual
machine running on an Apple II emulator written in Smalltalk running on a
virtual machine written in Smalltalk.
All those folks who are complaining that Squeak will never make it
commercially can now run the grand-daddy of all spreadsheets -VisiCalc!!
And think of all the educational titles for schools - forget all this EToy
feldercarb!!
If there's enough interest, I might go ahead and complete the joke -
simulation of the remaining 65C02 instructions, support for more of the
hardware and graphics modes, and perhaps a Slang/plugin version that would
likely run faster than the real thing.
Incidentally, the menu has a command to bring up a display of registers,
etc. for debugging 6502 programs - also resetting, halting, etc.
