Introduction

The Epson® Equity™ 386SX PLUS is a high-performance personal computer which offers exceptional speed and convenience in a compact design. The computer’s 16 MHz 80386SX microprocessor makes all your programs run faster, even when supporting multitasking operations.

Your system includes either 1MB or 2MB of internal memory, a built-in VGA (video graphics array) display adapter, built-in parallel and serial interfaces, an IBM® PS/2™ compatible mouse port, and four standard option slots (three 16.bit and one

8-bit). These interfaces allow you to connect most of your peripheral devices directly to the computer, so you do not have to install option cards. You can use the option slots to install additional devices, such as a modem.

The Equity 386SX PLUS can support up to three internal drives: either two diskette drives and one hard disk drive, or one diskette drive and two hard disk drives.

Optional Equipment

You can easily upgrade your computer by installing additional memory and adding optional devices. You can install just about any optional device that is compatible with the IBM Personal Computer, PC XT,” or PC AT.‘”

You can expand the computer’s memory by adding memory modules to the main system board. Memory modules are efficient because they allow fast memory access and eliminate the need to use an option slot. If your computer came with 1MB of memory, you can expand it up to 10MB by installing SIMMs; on a 2MB system, you can increase the memory up to 14MB with SIMMs. You can add a memory card, however, if you want to expand your computer’s memory to 16MB.
