I think 16meg 486 is the minimum spec... It's actually compiled for the 386, but I think it now needs an FPU :)

If you want to compile your own, you could probably run it on a very low spec 386 :)

I had an old 25Mhz 386 laptop I found in a skip back in 2002 and the AROS boot floppy booted just fine... Apart from the monochrome screen it felt much like my A1200 in terms of performance :)

Soooo... you found a 386 in a skip and an Atari in a bin. Careful buddy, your going to get a reputation at this rate. :P
