The typewriter I am using now has 64 MB Ram and a normal installation
of OpenBSD 4.8. I suspect also a normal installation of OpenBSD 5.9
would run (I do not change a working typewriter). But see this:

What are the minimum system requirements for flashrd?
flashrd boots within 64MB RAM and 1GB flash hosting a default
OpenBSD/i386 or Open BSD/amd64 installation.

And this is flashrd:

I used minix in a computer with 4 MB ram. Of course, I do not compare
minix with OpenBSD. Apples with pears.
And no, for todays heavy web 32 MB Ram is not enough. You need a modern
browser: very few working alternatives, all bloat.
