You may want to install an 80387SX, 16 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.

Operating Systems and Other Software

You probably have a version of MS-DOS® to use with your

computer. However, you can run any operating system

compatible with MS-DOS, OS/2, UNIX® or XENIX®. If you use
another operating system, refer to the documentation that
came with it to install and run it on your computer.

You can use virtually any application program designed for

the IBM PC, PC XT, PC AT, or compatible computers on your
Equity 386SX/16 PLUS.

VGA Utilities

Epson has included special VGA device drivers and utilities
that you can use with your built-in VGA adapter. With these

utilities, you can take advantage of extended VGA features

such as 16-color graphics mode resolutions up to 800 x 600
and 132-column text mode. The VGA device drivers and
utilities are described in the VGA Utilities booklet that came
with your system.
