If you are using version 4.01 of MS-DOS and you did not get a memory manager, you can use the MS-DOS program EMM386SYS to convert your extended memory to expanded memory. See your MS-DOS Reference Manual for instructions on using EMM386.SYS.

If you are using version 3.3 of MS-DOS and you did not get a memory manager with your system, ask your Epson dealer which expanded memory manager program you should use.

Using Special VGA Features

Your built-in VGA (video graphics array) display adapter supports both standard VGA monitors and multi-frequency monitors with analog connectors in non-interlaced mode. The VGA adapter allows these monitors to operate in all standard VGA modes without requiring any special device drivers.

However, if you want to use super VGA modes, you can install one or more of the device drivers provided on the Utility diskette that came with your system. These drivers allow you to use all of the capabilities of your monitor and your built-in VGA display adapter.

The device drivers provide VGA features such as these:

0 800 x 600 resolution in graphics modes with 16 colors

CI Resolutions up to 640 x 480 in graphics modes with 256 colors

P 132-column text mode in 16 colors.
