Epson Equity II - Manual (Page 11)

You can add memory expansion option cards to increase the amount of
internal memory in your Equity II+, and you can add an 80287 math copro-
cessor (which is not an option card but installs on the main circuit board).
You can also use most cards for the IBM® Personal Computer,
PC XT™, and PC AT™ on the Equity II+. Check with your Epson dealer
from time to time to find out which peripherals and. option cards are
available.
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 on the Equity II+. Be
sure to refer to your Equity MS-DOS manual, however, for descriptions of
the special utility programs added by Epson.
You may have purchased other software; you can use most software
products designed for the IBM PC, PC XT, and PC AT on your Equity II+.
Refer to your software program documentation for information on using the
software.
Additionally, the Equity II+ supports multiple users and multiple task-
ing with the appropriate operating system. Consult your Epson dealer for
more information.
