It runs on all models but needs a minimum of 1M of memory to get a server,
640x400 display going. You need extra memory to run local clients confortably.
About 2megs total is pretty good. You also need 5megs of mass storage (disk/NFS)
for all the executables and fonts.
Also need to find an A1000 ethernet board if you want to connect an A1000
to a network. We presently have A2000 ethernet boards available.
This is a list of the current X11/bin directory for the amiga:
