It's amusing to consider NT4e "huge", the whole thing runs off of an 8gb IDE hard drive, with 2 2gb FAT partitions. The whole thing takes up only 700mb, 8mb of which is the configuration and logging database. But... compared to 100s of KB in a C64 it is much more overhead :)
It's all relative. I work with embedded systems with no mass storage, but a full IP stack and cellular communications, along with sensor I/O and data acquisition/reduction, with a less than 120KB code footprint. Controlling an HVAC system (for example) doesn't really involve much more than that. -Dave -- Dave McGuire, AK4HZ New Kensington, PA
