Automatic Configuration

The Equity 386SX/20 PLUS automatically defines your system’s memory configuration and recognizes a math coprocessor, if you have installed one. It also detects and configures most of the devices you have installed in your system. Therefore, you may not need to change any default settings in the Setup program. However, you should check each option on the Setup menu to verify that the settings are correct for your configuration.

The computer automatically configures the 2MB of memory that comes with your system as 640KB of base memory and 1280KB of extended memory. If you install even more memory, Setup configures it as extended memory also.
