Epson EQUITY 386SX/16 PLUS - Manual (Page 13)

Introduction
The Epson® Equity® 386SX/16 PLUS is a high-performance
personal computer which offers exceptional speed and
convenience in a compact design.
Your 16 MHz, 80386SX system includes 2MB of internal
memory, a built-in VGA (video graphics array) display
adapter, built-in parallel and serial interfaces, and an IBM@
PS/2™ compatible mouse port. These interfaces allow you to
connect most of your peripheral devices directly to the
computer, so you do not have to install option cards.
The Equity 386SX/16 PLUS also provides four option slots
(three 16-bit and one 8-bit) in which you can install
additional devices, such as a modem or a network card.
Your computer 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.
Additionally, your system offers shadow RAM to speed up
processing by moving the ROM BIOS and the video ROM
into the RAM area of memory. This allows the computer to
access and display information faster.
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 memory modules to the main system board, you
can expand the computer’s memory up to 24MB. The first
16MB can be used as either extended or expanded memory;
any memory above 16MB can be used only as expanded.
