  Jecel,

 Then you will be aware that Apple themselves made several releases of a
 mature Smalltalk-80 system for Macintosh. The project was led, at one
 time, by Harvey Alcabes. I still have his business card in that role,
 from when I met him at the Apple Developer Conference where HyperCard
 (then codenamed Silver Surfer) was revealed. 
 I have the 400KB floppy disks of version 0.7 of that system. ... 
I think I have the floppies somewhere too :)

 Lots of technical details about this system are available in the "green
 book" ("Smalltalk-80, Bits of History, Words of Advice" 
Yes I owned that book, and "The Language and its Implementation". I used 
the Apple system for a while.
