Might (read _will_) be a bit slow.  I'd try to find some faster hardware 
(even I IIcx, for example).

I'd recommend 8 MB, but you can probably scrounge some up from the lab 
machines you have around, if they are getting rid of a whole bunch.  Of
course you can never have too much RAM ;-)

Daystar cards are known to work, but there has been at least one person 
who cannot get a Daystar board to work in his Mac II, so I can't say for 
sure that it will work in yours.

I hope this helps some.

Later.
