Here's specifications, based on how it was set up at regionals...you can eliminate a few of the systems if you don't need them...
All Systems Must:
-Have Office 2000 or 2002(XP) installed
-Have TCP/IP installed
-Have a working network interface
1 System as Timekeeper(REQUIRED):
-Interface with FIRST Field control box via serial port
-Interface with A/V equipment
1 System as Scorekeeper:
-Have SQL Server or MSDE(SQL Server Desktop Edition - Freely Available) installed
-Have a working modem(for web updates - can be pointed at any host)
1 System as Pit Display:
-Interface to pit display equipment(projector/monitor)
The bare minimum that is required is the Timekeeper. If you run that as the only system, you will need to have the SQL Server or MSDE software installed on Timekeeper, rather than Scorekeeper as listed above. Of course, if you've got equipment to spare, you can always use a dedicated server...
