InstantTrack works very well on almost any IBM-type PC. You need: • At least 512K of RAM (see memory hints below) • DOS or any environment that can run DOS programs That’s all! But you will probably want: • An EGA, VGA, or SVGA graphics display if you want to see the maps in color. A CGA or Hercules display will let you see the maps in monochrome. Any old video display (even monochrome) will work fine for the text screens. Tiny palmtop displays that can’t display 80 columns by 25 lines may have trouble. • A math coprocessor (8087 or 80287) will speed things up a lot if you have a really old, slow computer, but InstantTrack really is fast enough to be perfectly acceptable on the slowest old XT with no coprocessor. The fancier maps will take a while to redraw. If you have a 486 or a Pentium, your computer is so fast that you’ll never have to wait for InstantTrack. • A hard disk makes things faster, but you can run from a floppy if you must.
