Epson Equity II - Manual (Page 86)

Introduction
This special section of your manual describes how to initialize your
Epson® system after it is assembled, and how to test the condition of your
computer and peripherals.
To set up and test your system, you use a group of programs called diag-
nostics on the reference diskette. Depending on the system you purchased,
these programs and some of the screen displays may vary. The five main
diagnostics programs are:
Setup Use this program when you first set up the
computer, and each time you make changes
to the system.
Format hard disk Use this program to check or format the
entire hard disk after installation.
Format diskette Use this program to format a diskette for use
by the System diagnostics tests. This pro-
gram is provided for convenience only, so
that you can format a diskette without exit-
ing diagnostics.
System diagnostics Use these programs whenever you add or
remove optional devices, or if you suspect
that the system is defective. You also run
these diagnostics after moving the system
from one place to another and after replacing
the internal battery.
Prepare hard disk Use this program before moving the com-
for moving puter to another location.
The reference diskette also contains these MS-DOS commands:
EXE2BIN Converts an executable file to a binary file.
H D C A C H E
HDSIT

copies of requested sectors in a cache buffer.
