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:
