Using MS-DOS on the Equity II

After you boot MS-DOS, you need to run the SETUP program to provide MS-DOS with information about your system configuration. See your MS-DOS manual for instructions and be sure to select and set every SETUP option.

You can use two special commands to change the appearance of characters your monitor displays. If you have a monochrome monitor, you can change the background color of your screen. Characters normally display in white on a black background, and you can use the MS-DOS REVERSE command or hold down Ctrl and Alt and press / to display black characters on a white background instead. See the MS-DOS manual for more information.

If you have a color monitor, you can change the size of the characters on your screen. A color monitor normally displays characters in single- width, and you can hold down Ctrl and Alt and press ] to display double-width characters instead.
