I am no expert but given all I have seen sofar 64kb is just not enough.
And you will also need an image where the smallest I have heard about
(Dan's mythical image) is about 4 times more than that.
The smallest Smalltalk VM I have heard about is the PocketSmalltalk VM
which is about 20-30kb I think.
VMMaker is for building the Squeak VM (picking options etc) but can not
be used to simply produce a VM of your own "choice" so to speak.
