Installing Option Cards

The Equity 386SX has ive standard option slots and one special

f

option slot occupied by the card that controls the serial and
parallel interfaces (known as the SP card). The video card that

controls your monitor occupies one standard slot. You can buy
additional option cards from authorized Epson dealers as well as
other vendors.

If you want additional memory, you can install a memory card
in your computer. (You can install a memory card whether or

not you have already added SIMMs.) With added SIMMs and a

memory card, the Equity 386SX can have up to a total of 16MB
of memory. Most popular memory cards are compatible with the
Equity 386SX.
