Lines: 11 Since there's a PD Smalltalk for Atari, I wonder if there's a similar implementation for the Amiga, or at least sources in some common language such as C available. Any word from those who ported the Atari version? With hardware graphics support, a blitter, etc., plus the ability to support 8 meg of RAM or so, the Amiga would make a great low-end Smalltalk engine. With 640x400 32-levels-of-grayscale (or color, if you can handle the flicker and the bucks) support on the Amiga 500, one ought finally to be able to wean the home hackers off of BASIC (icch).
