Interesting project. Have you been able to try it on actual hardware yet? What’s the minimum RAM?

Yes, some people have contributed screenshots: os8088.com/hardware

256kb is the official minimum amount of RAM. 128KB should work but that's just going to let you run the kernel and some very basic built in apps.

I was able to boot the 1.44MB floppy image on my PS/2, but the mouse doesn't work.
