Mine has 8Mb.  But it doesn't have to do much.  OT supposedly requires
5Mb, but Apple also assumes you're going to run an application or two.

I noticed that.  I also downloaded it.

Not that it has done me any good...I found out why I'm not running Open
Transport:  When I switch to OT, AppleTalk quits working. 
Grumble...everything is (barely) in spec with MacOS 7.5.3, OT 1.1.2, but
while classic networking works perfectly, OT networking doesn't work at
all.  Any suggestions?  I get errors when I try to activate any AppleTalk
port.

The hassles I've had trying to make the LC-III work were enough to
convince me that, yes, OS-X was a dramatic improvement for the Mac world. 
I just wish parts of it behaved more like GS/OS.  8-)
