10 IBM-compatible computer with Pentium-classmicropocessor One or more serial communications (COM) ports forconnecting a bar code reader or a download cable One parallel printer port (LPT) Hard disk drive with at least 40 megabytes or more free diskspace 32 MB of Random Access Memory (RAM) One floppy drive One 2X or faster CD-ROM drive SVGA color display, 800x600, 256-color resolution Microsoft Mouse or other compatible pointing device Microsoft Windows 95 or MS-DOS and Windows : The amount of free disk space required varies with thenumber of projects and the amount of audio messages you planto save on the hard drive. A general rule of thumb is to have atleast twice the amount of hard disk space required by yourlargest Systems Definition Utility executes highly disk-intensivefunctions. For best results, make sure your computer system isconfigured to achieve optimal performance. To optimize yoursystem, refer to the documentation that came with Manuals Online!
