Finding an 8010 running Smalltalk is one of the missing links.
So far, no one has been able to get the 6085 images working I recovered a few
years ago.
8010 and 6085 Smalltalk were marketed by Xerox Special Information Systems in

Some information is available under http://bitsavers.org/pdf/xerox/xsis
"Golden Tiger" which evolved into Analyst were developed for a three letter
