Well, since you asked, Mark Williams C will run on one of the following
processors:  PDP-11, Z8001, Z8002, 8086, 80186, 80286, 68020.  Oh yes,
also the 68000.  It needs at least 512K memory and one single sided
disk drive ... but compiling is a major headache with that set-up.
With 1024K of memory, you can place the C preprocessor, compiler and linker
on ramdisk ... and compiles are much faster.
Of course, the more mass storage the better.  I'm using a set-up where the
shell, emacs, linker, preprocesor, compiler are all in RAM, the libraries
are on my double sided drive b, as well as all the utility commands, except
the resource construction set, which is on double-sided drive a ... leaving
about 400K of free memory and about 500k of free disk space.
