I recommend a 10-, 12-, or 16-MHz AT clone with 1 Mb of RAM, memory expandable on the board (that is, without auxiliary cards) to 4 Mb RAM; a 60- to 80-Mb hard disk; one 1.2-Mb and/or one 1.44-Mb floppy drive; a serial/parallel port; and a VGA (
video graphics adapter) high-resolution color monitor and display controller.
