I started reading about Plurion and the Merlin 6.  On the SqueakNOS list
Merik Voswinkel also mentioned Morphy.  If you have the VM in the hardware,
the tradeoffs change.  So my next questions are:  How good do you find
SqueakNOS as a debugger for the software? (device drivers, SqueakNOS, apps)
What do you do about the issues of initial loading at power-on, allowing
user changes to the system, and preventing users from making the entire
machine unusable?

Thanks,
