Paraphrased from the TI-Scheme manual:
- MS-DOS 2.1 (or greater) or PC-DOS 2.0 (or greater)
- 320K bytes of memory
- Dual diskette drives
Note that additional memory and a hard disk are recomended, particularly
for software development. The EDWIN text editor requires a minimum of
512L bytes of memory. Also, graphics hardware support is required to use
the graphics features of PC Scheme.

PC Scheme will use expanded or extended memory (by running different
executables) but runs fastest in standard memory.
