Epson Equity 286 PLUS - Manual (Page 14)

Introduction
The Epson® Equity® 286 PLUS is a high-performance personal
computer which offers exceptional speed and convenience in a
compact design. The computer’s 12 MHz 80286 microprocessor
makes all your programs run faster, even when supporting
multitasking operations.
Your system includes 1MB of internal memory, a built-in VGA
(video graphics array) display adapter, built-in parallel and serial
interfaces, an IBM
®
PS/2™ compatible mouse port, and four
standard option slots (three 16-bit and one 8-bit). These
interfaces allow you to connect most of your peripheral devices
directly to the computer, so you do not have to install option
cards. You can use the option slots to 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.
The Equity 286 PLUS also 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
information and display text and graphics on the screen 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.™
