IMHO a dn3000, or dn3010 with 4MB is the minimum.  It will work, but
not fast. (subjective to the user).  We have a number of nodes with that
configuration for programmer development work.  More memory is better, but
four will work.
I have 1 dn300 with 2.5MB running diskless at 10.2.  You must run 10.2 to
get any of the dn300 dsp80/90 series machines to run. There were bugs in
the 10.0/10.1 sau directory for these type machines. 2mb is the minimum 
configuration for a disked node to of this type to boot up and run 10.2.
I have a dsp80 with 1.5 MB booted diskless running 10.2.
I hope this has been helpful. Please reply so that I know that my
mail is working.
