Actually, Level I for 680x0 machines recommends a minimum of 128K of user RAM) (256K is recommended) for general user purposes; however, since you could put the entire OS-9 operating system in ROM and only have enough RAM for OS-9 uses, this could be smaller for special applications. A small ROM-based control system running OS-9 could (according to the manuals) get by with 32K RAM. Anyone wanting more information on OS-9 should drop a line to: Andy Ball Microware Systems Corporation 1866 NW 114th Street Des Moines, Iowa 50322 >From the looks of things, I don't think it'd be tough to port OS-9 to an Amiga....
