Dear Rich, in general I agree with you. They also asked for my Fax number,
this particular journal seems to be still in the XX century.

However, there are some basic clues I could give. For instance, can GRASS
run on a 16-bit system? Or 8-bit?

Probably :-) If you still find such machines... I'd write 32bit
minimum, nice-to-have: 64bit.

Some hints are on these pages:
https://grasswiki.osgeo.org/wiki/Software_requirements_specification
https://grasswiki.osgeo.org/wiki/GRASS_GIS_Performance

What is the minimum RAM required to launch the GRASS console?

I guess that without the GUI something like 300MB are enough. Most RAM
need is driven by the data, so large(r) data require more RAM as
indicated by Rich.

The nice thing about GRASS GIS (and I think that not many other software packages have this), however, that many modules can be run using low RAM as well (see the raster modules with the memory option and the GRASS_VECTOR_LOWMEM environment variable). This allows to run complex analyses on large datasets with low levels of RAM. You just have to be ready to wait ;-)
