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.
