I have KanjiTalk 2.0 and it runs fine on the Mac II I have with 5MB of memory.
It is worth noting that since the Kanji ROM is not present all of the kanji
fonts have to at some time or other RAM resident and hence I would suspect that
the system wouldn't work well with only a 1MB machine.  I purchased KanjiTalk
2.0 in Japan for about 7000 yen in Akihabara.  It works fine with most programs
but not all.  It allows romanji based input of characters to some programs.  
There is also a package called Sweet-Jam available from some import house here
that allow japanese text to be input into american versions of programs under
KanjiTalk.  I do not have this program however and read about it in a Japanese
Mac magazine call Mac Life.
