Together with people from Douai, I made some experiment. The VM is tagged alpha. So, it is supposed incomplete. For instance, there is no socket support.
I've certainly done socket stuff on a Dell Axim PDA (XScale) using this VM, and it worked just fine...
But what i need to run squeak in my ipaq? As i mentioned, it runs very big, and i don't know how change this. Somebody can send me an image that runs good?
More to this. WHat is the better place to install to get the better performance? VM in main memory and image in Slot? all in slot? all in main memory?
Thanks you.

You don't need a "special" image. Just open your image on your computer and put morph or views you're willing to use on your pda at the top left most corner. Then save and quit. Of course, your views need to be small enough to fit into the PDA screen. BTW, don't forget to make a button for quitting. It's very useful, otherwise, you'll need to scroll somhow (with the keyboard usually) the world menu...
BTW, your image should not be more than 12 MBytes. It's a maximum that is hardcoded into the VM for some reason. Can someone explain why we have this? Can't we remove it? -------------------------------------------------------------- Dr. Noury Bouraqadi - Enseignant/Chercheur Ecole des Mines de Douai - Dept. G.I.P http://csl.ensm-douai.fr/noury

Back in time, Windows CE had (has?) 32MB segmented memory model. The 32MB was shared with binary text and data and (if I remember correctly) OS, and with some trial and error, I found that 12MB seemed the upper limit for Squeak image.
Later I added the backing store mechanism, If there is some external storage, a memory mapped file can be created on the storage and somehow that memory object can be bigger than 12MB.
I'm not sure about the Windows Mobile. I might imagine that 12MB is small for today's Windows Mobile apps, so they might have lifed the limit...
