on a 68000.

One typically sees statements that OS-9/68000 (a Unix-like OS, with a rather
cleaner internal structure) wants 128K plus maybe 64K per user, for an inter-
active system. (If you were interested in a ROM-based, dedicated environment,
you could get away with a lot less--the OS-9/68000 kernel is only 24K big.)
It's nice to have extraordinarily fast, expensive hard disks, but not
positively essential as it is if you're running Unix or one of its clones.
