Afaik MSX 1 BIOS only requires 16kB of RAM, and an engine to take care of several things. Oh, and a VDP, ofcourse. The BIOS will not work without it, even if it were only for the interrupt it generates.
I think an MSX2 has basically the same requirements. Since there is an MSX2 model without a mapper (VG8220?) I don't think the mapper is a necessity. ~Grauw --- Ushiko-san!
