One of these days I'd really like to play with a
UCSD PASCAL system, largely
to get a feel of how well it worked. From what I've heard getting any kind
of Java running on a 68k based system is a problem (have we got anyone still
active with Amiga's around, they'd have a better idea). That tells me that
a 486 or lower won't really be able to cut it when it comes to JAVA.
I'm sure Chuck will jump in here, but certainly Java can run
on very small processors such as the Java Ring or the Pilot,
which isn't far from the average 68000. As part of yet another
business I administer, www.ezsweep.com, I routinely run
three Java instances in DOS windows under Win95 on a P-75
with 16 megs, so there. :-)
Be sure to visit the p-System exhibit at www.threedee.com/jcm/
for more info. Offhand, Java byte code is far more complex
than p-System p-code.
