You might be interested to know that early versions of Unix ran on machines
on which 512KB would have been considered an impossible dream, with no MMU,
and with hard disks not much bigger or faster than modern floppies.  It was
a bit primitive by modern standards, but it did work.

Minix is said to run fine on a 512K ST.
