Although illustrations in this manual show the Equity II model with
the internal hard disk, the setup and operational procedures apply to all
configurations. You do not need to read everything in this book; some
sections may describe a particular option or accessory you do not have.
The Equity II comes with the MS”-DOS operating system and the
GW™-BASIC programming language. If you have used MS-DOS before
on another computer, you will find that it works the same way on the
Equity II. However, be sure to refer to your Equity MS-DOS manual to
learn about the new commands and special utility programs Epson has
added.
You may have bought other software as well. This manual tells you
how to load software diskettes. To learn how to use a program or an
operating system, refer to the software manual that comes with it.
