Using MS-DOS on the Equity II
After you boot MS-DOS, you need to run the SETUP program to
provide MS-DOS with information about your system configuration.
See your MS-DOS manual for instructions and be sure to select and set
every SETUP option.
You can use two special commands to change the appearance of
characters your monitor displays. If you have a monochrome monitor,
you can change the background color of your screen. Characters nor-
mally display in white on a black background, and you can use the
MS-DOS REVERSE command or hold down Ctrl and
Alt
and press / to
display black characters on a white background instead. See the
MS-DOS manual for more information.
If you have a color monitor, you can change the size of the characters
on your screen. A color monitor normally displays characters in single-
width, and you can hold down
Ctrl
and
Alt
and press to display
double-width characters instead.
