MPC Level 1 Specification
     
         The original {Multimedia Personal Computer}
        specification.
     
        Minimum requirements are a 16 MHz {386SX} with 2 {megabytes}
        of {RAM}, a 30 MB {hard disk drive}, and a {CD-ROM} drive with
        a sustained data transfer rate of 150 KB/s at no more than 40%
        of {CPU} {bandwidth} and reading at least 16 KB blocks.  The
        maximum average {seek time} is 1 second and the {Mean Time
        Between Failure} 10000 hours.  Capability Mode 1.
     
        The computer must have 8-bit digital sound and an 8-note
        synthesizer with {MIDI} playback.  Sample rates of 22.05 and
        11.025 kHz must be supported by no more than 10% of CPU
        bandwidth, preferably 44.1 kHz at no more than 15% of CPU
        bandwidth.  The synthesizer must support multi-voice,
        multi-timbral generation of six simultaneous melody notes and
        two simultaneous percussive notes with internal mixing
        capabilities to combine input from three sources and present
        the output as a stereo, line-level audio signal at the back
        panel.
     
        The video display must have a {resolution} of at least 640 x
        480 in 16 colours.  MIDI, I/O, and joystick ports must be
        previded.
