Introduction
Your Apex” personal computer is powerful, versatile, and easy
to use. After setting up your system with the simple instructions
in this manual, you’ll soon be using your favorite software
programs.
The Apex computer is available in these configurations:
The Apex 100 provides two 360KB (kilobyte) diskette
drives
The Apex 100\20 provides one 20MB (megabyte) hard
disk drive and one 360KB diskette drive.
Both models come with 640KB of internal memory, five
internal option slots, an MGA (multi-graphics adapter) card,
and built-in serial and parallel interfaces. You can connect
either a monochrome or color graphics monitor to the MGA
card in the computer.
Your computer comes with version 3.3 of MS-DOS ® —an
operating system by Microsoft.
®
In addition to the introduction
to MS-DOS provided in this manual, you’ll find a
comprehensive reference manual for the operating system
pack4 in the box with your computer.
As a supplement to MS-DOS, Epson has included several time-
saving utilities that make MS-DOS easier to use: HELP,
MENU, and XTREE.
® The HELP program lets you display
information on the screen about any MS-DOS command.
MENU provides an easier way to run many of the most
common MS-DOS commands. XTREE is a file management
utility that simplifies all file and directory operations; it is
especially useful for managing data on a hard disk.
