I tried to look around to find out what are the computer system requirements for the CD-ROM service manual for W123, and I could not find anything. I would appreciate if anyone could let me know what I would need to have in order to use the disk. Many thanks

Jason-
I don't have one of the discs in front of me but, I'm pretty sure the minimum requirements are an IBM compatible PC with at least a 486 processor, 8 MB RAM, 4x CD-ROM and Win95. The disc uses Adobe Acrobat and Shockwave. Mac PC's work ok with the Adobe Acrobat but, not the Shockwave which disables the index and makes the disc much harder to use. I don't think you need any special video accelerator or anything although 800x600 resolution and 16 bit True Color would be better than 640x480 and 256 color.

There are several Shop Forum members who have purchased the W123 and W201 discs from us. Maybe they will share their experiences with you and the results with the PC platform they are using. I don't personally have one of the discs because our supply of W124 discs still hasn't arrived for my wife's '95 E420 and the W210 is not yet available for my '98 E430.
