I run OS 9.1 on a 1400 as I have explained twice on the list this week. I have a 166 with 40 MB RAM.

It will run Photoshop 3-4 layers at 800 X 600 pixel aspect if you are patient and careful.

Clarisworks or Word run just fine.

ITunes stutters only when visuals are on But a small screen isn't to bad.

VM is useless.  Use it if you REALLY want to slow the machine.
Use no more than 1 MB.

The hard part is that the OS takes a lot more overhead in RAM. But if you cut out all unnecessary extensions and no desktop picture you might get it down to near OS 8.6 overhead.
