As a MINIMUM requirements guideline your Personal Computer should have the following;
* a Bus Mouse is preferred because you'll need 1 serial port for your Modem and 1 serial port for the AMACS RS-485 system. A serial mouse steals one of these ports and makes configuration more difficult, although not impossible.
DESCRIPTION:
The Aquarium Monitoring and Control System (AMACS) uses a Windows Personal Computer as its User Interface, Datalogger, Controller, Timer, and Network Interface System. Perhaps you already have a PC available that meets our less than state-of-the-art system requirements above? If not, then to purchase one that does is an inexpensive solution to get started using your AMACS.
