Thanks for all the suggestions. The spec is looking like:
Pentium II 350
128MB RAM
ATI All in Wonder Pro 8MB (integral TV output)
Big hard drive (>8GB)
Office 97 Pro
25" TV
Plus a decent sound card that will play MIDI files without sounding like
2 people sharing a jaws harp - any suggestions?
Total cost I would guess about UKP2000. And when surgery is over, a
mean game of Quake could be had as well!
