I think the controller computer requirements for the ABI 492 are quite
modest. We use an old Mac Quadra 650 with 42 MB RAM and a couple gigabytes
hard drive capacity, which is actually overkill (I think 16 MB RAM would
work if you didn't want to do other things on the computer while you were
acquiring data). I hope this helps.
