Introduction

The Epson® Equity™ 386SX is a high-performance personal

computer which offers exceptional speed and versatility in a
compact design. The computer’s 80386SX microprocessor

makes all your programs run faster, even when supporting

multitasking operations.

The Equity 386SXS available in these configurations:

A single diskette drive system with a 1.44MB (megabyte)

3

diskette drive

A hard disk drive system with one 40MB or 100MB hard

disk and a 1.44MB diskette drive.

You can install an additional diskette drive or hard disk drive,

up to a maximum of three drives total.

All models of the Equity 386SX include 1MB of internal

memory, five standard option slots (four 16-bit and one 8-bit),
serial and parallel interfaces, and an auxiliary mouse connector.
You can easily upgrade your computer by installing additional

memory and adding optional devices.

Because of its industry-standard architecture, the Equity 386SX

is fully compatible with the current installed base of personal

computer hardware and software. You can install just about any
optional device that is compatible with the IBM@ Personal

Computer, PC XT™, or PC AT™.

You can expand the computer’s memory up to 14MB by

adding memory modules to a special card that comes with the
Equity 386SX. Memory modules are efficient because they

eliminate the need to use one of your option slots to add

memory to your computer. If you do choose to use a memory
card, you can increase the computer’s memory up to 16MB.
