It should work with 1MB RAM as well, although it will probably page the 
heck out of it.  CWSDPMI was tested to work with only 64KB of free 
conventional RAM and _no_ extended memory.

Of course it does.

Yes, if the CPU is not 386 or better, DJGPP won't work.  I thought the 
CPU was not a problem in this case.
