Optional Equipment, Installing Operating Systems and Other Software, and Other Software

Page 11 highlights

Optional Equipment You can easily upgrade your computer by installing additional memory and adding just about any optional device that is compatible with the IBM Personal Computer, PC XT™, or PC AT™. By adding 4MB single inline memory modules (SIMMs) to the main system board, you can expand the computer's memory up to 16MB. You may want to install an 80387DX, 33 MHz or 3167, 33 MHz math coprocessor in your computer to speed up mathematical calculations in certain application programs. Check with your authorized Epson dealer for information on optional equipment. Instructions for installing options are provided in the User's Guide. Installing Operating Systems and Other Software You probably have a version of MS-DOS® to use with your computer. However, you can use another operating system such as OS/2® , UNIX®, or XENIX®. This manual covers basic operating instructions for using your computer, but does not explain how to install or use the operating system. Refer to the documentation that came with your operating system to install and run it on your computer. Once you install an operating system, you can use virtually any application program designed for the IBM PC, PC XT, PC AT, or compatible computers on your Equity 386/33 PLUS. You may also use powerful 32-bit software such as Microsoft® Windows™ 3.0. 2 Introduction
