GitHub user devhawala has done an amazing job creating emulations of some of the early #Xerox environments. I made some minor tweaks to his code so they'll work well as the guts of a small scale 8010 (Dandelion) replica.

I have the XDE, ViewPoint, and Smalltalk-80 running well on a #raspberrypi 4 at 1024x768 on an 8” display.

I remember the first time I saw #Smalltalk running on a Dorado. The speed blew me away. The Pi emulation seems much faster.
