Depends on what you plan on running, and if the machine is going to be a development node or not. The basic runtime will require less than 20Mb of HD, and can run stand alone with as little as 2Mb of RAM. For nodes that boot over the network, I (MZ.) have booted up machines with 512K. You can easily make a floppy bootable QNX environment. A development system will want at least 8Mb of RAM, and 120Mb of HD, but you can get away with 4Mb of RAM and File servers will want at least 16Mb of RAM, possibly more so that it can be dedicated to file system Cache. QNX will boot from floppy, which might be all that is required for small embedded applications. You can download a demo disk from QSSL’s web site that contains: QNX OS, Photon, TCP/IP, Web browser, Web server, a Dialer, and some HTML files.
