ROMPATCH INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS Some Equity I and Equity II computers have trouble running certain application programs (Lotus 1-2-3 Version 2, for example) because they have an early version of ROM BIOS. This diskette contains a patch named ROMPATCH.COM which either corrects the problem (by patching the ROM) or tells you that your computer does not need it. Follow the instructions below to install the patch if you have an Equity I or an Equity II, Installing the Patch At the MS-DOS system prompt, type: ROMPATCH and press Enter. One of the following messages appears: Resident portion of ROMPATCH version 1.0 loaded This indicates that the patch was necessary and has been properly installed in the lowest available memory. If you see this message, you need to install this patch every time you load MS-DOS. You may want to include ROMPATCH in your AUTOEXEC.BAT file, so it is installed automatically every time you boot your Equity. (See your MS-DOS manual for instructions on creating an AUTOEXEC.BAT file.) ROMPATCH version 1.0 already installed This indicates that ROMPATCH.COM has already been properly installed since you last booted your Equity. No need to install ROMPATCH version 1.0 This indicates that your Equity's ROM BIOS does not need the patch and you can disregard this patch and these instructions. If your system does need the patch, remember to install it each time you boot your Equity or include it in your AUTOEXEC.BAT file. Page 9 of 9

ROMPATCH INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS
Some Equity I and Equity II computers have trouble running
certain application programs (Lotus 1-2-3 Version 2, for example)
because they have an early version of ROM BIOS. This diskette
contains a patch named ROMPATCH.COM which either corrects the
problem (by patching the ROM) or tells you that your computer
does not need it.
Follow the instructions below to install the patch if you have an
Equity I or an Equity II,
Installing the Patch
At the MS-DOS system prompt, type:
ROMPATCH and press Enter.
One of the following messages appears:
Resident portion of ROMPATCH version 1.0 loaded
This indicates that the patch was necessary and has been
properly installed in the lowest available memory. If you
see this message, you need to install this patch every
time you load MS-DOS. You may want to include ROMPATCH in
your AUTOEXEC.BAT file, so it is installed automatically
every time you boot your Equity. (See your MS-DOS manual
for instructions on creating an AUTOEXEC.BAT file.)
ROMPATCH version 1.0 already installed
This indicates that ROMPATCH.COM has already been properly
installed since you last booted your Equity.
No need to install ROMPATCH version 1.0
This indicates that your Equity's ROM BIOS does not need
the patch and you can disregard this patch and these
instructions.
If your system does need the patch, remember to install it each
time you boot your Equity or include it in your AUTOEXEC.BAT
file.
