Level 2 System Resources
The minimum configuration for a PC to satisfy the Level 2 specification
includes the following items:
- A 25 Mhz 486SX microprocessor with 4 MB of RAM
- A 3.5-inch high-density floppy disk drive
- A hard disk drive with at least 160 MB of disk space
- A 101-key keyboard with a standard DIN connector or one that provides
identical functionality by using key combinations
- A two-button mouse with a serial or bus connector
- A MIDI (Musical Instrument Digital Interface) port that includes MIDI Out,
MIDI In, and MIDI Thru, and that has interrupt support for input and FIFO transfer
- An IBM-style analog or digital joystick (game) port
- A color monitor with a display resolution of 640 by 480 pixels with 65,536
colors
- System software that offers binary compatibility with Windows 3.0 or Windows
3.1
In addition, the recommended performance goal for the video adapter (VGA+) is
1.2 million pixels per second using 40 percent or less of the CPU bandwidth.
The device-independent bitmaps (DIBs) used to measure this performance goal have
color depths of 1, 4, and 8 bits, and can use run-length encoding or be
unencoded. A second method of measuring the video performance is to deliver 256-color,
320 by 240 pixel digital-video images at 15 frames per second.
