About the MPC requirements, I forgot about 386SX. And the other stuff, like RAM, will not be much different than ordinary computers, in other words, many computers will already meet the other little requirements (including the 386SX requirement). I did not mention exactly what "audio card" was either. Anyway, it looks like many things can qualify, and for things like sound, is there some kind of standard that an "MPC-compliant" app will use? Also, like CDTV and CD-I, it does not have any provisions for motion video, something I and many consider important. (CDTV has a very limited format just quarter screen 10 fps using it's 4096 colors.) MPC should include some kind of provision for DVI, and the price for DVI should come down. This is the best way to go for multimedia of the future. Nish Patel nap42487@uxa.cso.uiuc.edu
