. .Nx*M \*V runs on Acorn systems with .Tn ARM6 or later processors, with or without a FPU coprocessor. The minimal configuration is said to require 8 MB of RAM and 140 MB of disk space, though we do not know of anyone running with a system quite this minimal today. 8 MB of RAM might allow you to run X and/or compile, but it won't be speedy.

p Drivers for hardware marked with .Dq [*] are .Em not present in installation kernels.
p Support for some devices is limited to particular kernels. For example, there is no SA110 support in A7000 kernels. . .Ss2 Unsupported devices .(bullet -offset indent -compact Acorn/Aleph1 PC cards t Any SCSI card using a PowerROM t Podule based serial ports t Castle SCSI/Ethernet cards .bullet)
p Drivers are planned for some of the above devices.
