Not so. You require at least a 386sx, VGA, an MPC complient CD-ROM such as
the Sony 541/535 or the NEC-83M( but not the NEC-83), a suitable audio card
with mixing capabilities( SB Pro for example but not the SB), Midi, Windows
3.1( which includes the extensions).

Oh, forgot there's also a minimal HD and RAM requirement. It used to be that
286 systems were the base. That is no longer the case. The minimum is a 16MHz
sx.
