Introduction
Your Epson
®
Equity™ II personal computer is a versatile, high-
performance system which offers you a wide variety of choices. First you
choose between two models of the Equity II main unit. Then you select
the peripherals you want to use with it to assemble the configuration that
does the most for you.
The Equity II main unit can have up to two disk drives and comes in
these models:
l
One 360KB (double-density) floppy disk drive
l
One 360KB floppy disk drive and one
20MB
internal hard disk drive
Both models include 640KB of memory. Instead of the hard disk, you can
choose to add either a 1.2MB (high-density) floppy disk drive or another
360KB floppy disk drive in the bottom slot. You may also replace the
standard 360KB floppy disk drive in the top slot with a
1.2MB
floppy
disk drive.
You can also choose among many optional internal and external
devices. The Equity II’s built-in serial, parallel, and video interfaces
allow you to connect almost any peripheral or combination of periph-
erals. Here are some optional Epson devices you can add to your system:
l
A 12-inch monochrome monitor
l
A 13-inch RGB color monitor
l
An Epson printer or plotter
l
A mouse and a mouse interface card
You can also use most cards for the
IBM@
Personal Computer on the
Equity II. Check with your Epson dealer from time to time to find out
which peripherals and option cards are available.
In addition, the Equity II runs most software products for the IBM
PC. And you can choose between two execution speeds and several wait
states to control how fast the Equity II operates.
