The SELECT command is not working.
Do you have a solution?
A documentation error was made in the MS-DOS version 3.2
manual supplied
with the Equity I+ and III+ regarding the
SELECT command.
This error also occurs in the HELP utility
data file.
There are two solutions. One is to use the
"traditional"
method for logical formatting: FORMAT C: /S/V
or use the correct SELECT syntax: SELECT A: C: 001 US
Are the Plus Development Hardcard 20 and Hardcard 40
compatible with the Equity It?
Yes,
but the installation process is slightly different
because of using MS-DOS instead of PC-DOS.
Will the Equity It support 2 floppy disk drives and a
hardcard?
Yes, but to conserve power use a hardcard which draws less
than 12 Watts.
Can a hardcard be installed in addition to a hard disk
drive?
Yes, but you must be sure that you do not mix MFM and RLL
type hard drives.
What type of hard disk does Epson supply with the Equity It
and what is the average disk access time.
Epson supplies a 3.5", 20 MB, Epson HMD-720 hard disk with
controller (Product Code Q314A-AA). The disk access time
is 69ms,

What hard disk controllers can I use?
The Western Digital (WD1002A-WX1) hard disk controller is
recommended for use in the Equity It for MFM type HDDs.
Can hard disks from other vendors be used with the
EQUITY It?
Since the EQUITY It is an IBM PC/XT compatible computer, it
is possible to use hard disks from other vendors,
The
customer should purchase a 1/2 height, low power unit such
as the one marketed by Epson.
