At the moment I think there are TWO versions of Smalltalk for the ST. I just
read an article in the German magazine "68000er/ST Magazin" about an
implementation of Smalltalk-80 for the ST. This implementation requires a 
MEGA [2,4] ST because the size of the virtual system image is over 1.4 MByte.
The price mentioned in the article is: 1700 DM for a small "CL" version, 
and 2260 DM for a professional version. With the professional version one can
also talk to hardware components like the serial and parellel port.
Considering the hardcopies in the magazine Smalltalk-80 on the ST has
excellent graphics! The ST screen acts as a sliding window on the huge,
virtual Smalltalk-80 desktop.

The second Smalltalk for the ST that I know of is a port of Little Smalltalk
made by a friend of mine. If anyone has interest, I can ask him for the
package and post it. It runs on any ST (although I'm not quite sure about
machines with less than 1 MByte of memory).
