I've done a very minimal port of Siod to the Psion Series 3a personal
organiser.  I used a relatively old version of siod, because there are
severe size limits on programs for the S3a (unless you're willing to
work at it, anyway, and I haven't, yet).  Even so, the result is only
minimally useful (with a heap of a few hundred cons cells), but it
shows proof of concept (with more work, the heap could be increased to
whatever memory is available: potentially nearly 2M on some machines),
and it may be useful for people to play with.

This is, obviously, without any kind of warranty (indeed, I can pretty
much guarantee that if you want it for some specific purpose, it'll be
useless), and although I don't think it's likely to cause damage to
anybody's S3a, I can't guarantee it.

Comes with complete source, object codes, etc.  (Which is why the file
is so big.)  You need about 100K of free memory to run it.  There's a
README.S3a giving installation instructions.
