Ohshima-san, let me repeat me plea for those sources ;-)
However, I think there is a case for two different VM's for the Zaurus.
The QtopiaSqueak is probably what the mainstream would want, but
personally I would like to have a "pure" Squeak PDA with just a minimal
Linux installation. However, until the Dynapad or similar is more
mature, a Qtopia version would be welcome.
My VM is based on sqUnixDirectFB and a hacked up version of DirectFB.
However, I'm not convienced that DirectFB (in the case of Squeak) adds
much apart from overhead, so I'll be looking at /dev/fb solution, parts
of which are already floating around.
