Re: Hardware Requirements for Flight Simulator II

[Bill Bach <bbach@cncNOSPAMdsl.com>]

According to the box that I have:
A2-FS2 Flight Simulator II
For the Apple II, Apple II+, & Apple //e
48K minimum memory required / DOS3.3 compatible / Joystick optional
Requires Apple floppy drive

Of course, if you have 64K, you get a whole slew of new features (pun intended).

According to page10 in the manual:
- works with the Apple III in emulation mode, but the 48K version is selected.
- Other brands of disk drives may work, depending on how Apple-compatible they
really are
- Paddles & trackball will also work, but you're better off using the keyboard
than these devices
- A Microsoft RAM card will also work. Other brands of 64K expansion RAM cardes
may work depending on their Apple Language Card compatibility.
