Define "Reasonably Configured". To me, SVR3 is already too big for "Reasonably
Configured" machines. I have seen System III running on "Reasonably Configured"
machines, but not with an 8086-family CPU.

Reasonably Configured == entire system cost significantly less than a small
car. Significantly less == no more than the down-payment. Small car ==
Hyundai Excel or Ford Festiva with cloth seats and air conditioning.
