It is certainly the smallest one I know about.
I suppose it was quite late to the emacs party, dating from 1989 or so.
The sources include support for Ultrix and various mini and micro systems,
plus a few terminal types.

I used to use to use it on small and partially
installed systems for
editing config files. This role seems to be taken by nano in the modern
day.
I asked him once how to change the key bindings and Dave said “You use the
Change Configuration command.” “On Unix it is abbreviated as cc.”
Love it!!!
I liked that about the configuration of wmx (a window manger), although
less enthralled at the "change configuration command" being "g++"
