Hi William

Iv'e run SunOS 4 on machines with as little as 16M (ie a 3/80) and it's been OK. I also run it on a SparcStation 2 with 64M and did try it with 32M and in both cases it was fine.

The main issue is finding software as the archives tend to start at Solaris 2.4/2.5. We could really do with a good site for SunOS 4 software. I might have to make one :-)
