From The Jargon File (version 4.4.7, 29 Dec 2003) [jargon]:
dink
/dink/, adj.
Said of a machine that has the {bitty box} nature; a machine too small to
be worth bothering with ? sometimes the system you're currently forced to
work on. First heard from an MIT hacker working on a CP/M system with 64K,
in reference to any 6502 system, then from fans of 32-bit architectures
about 16-bit machines. ?GNUMACS will never work on that dink machine.?
Probably derived from mainstream ?dinky?, which isn't sufficiently
pejorative. See {macdink}.
