Setting Up Your System
It won’t take you long to get your Epson Equity III personal com-
puter up and running. This chapter describes the Equity III main unit and
shows you how to set up your system and make any necessary adjust-
ments.
Unpacking
When you unpack your Equity III, you should find the following:
l The main unit and power cord
l The keyboard with cable
l An MS-DOS operating system diskette (version 3.1) and a
GW-BASIC programming language diskette with supplemental
MS-DOS utilities
l An MS-DOS manual and a GW-BASIC manual
l A diagnostics diskette and a diagnostics manual
l This Equity III User’s Guide
In addition to these items, you probably bought a compatible video
monitor and video card, such as the Epson monochrome monitor MBM-
2095-E and monochrome video card or the Epson RGB color monitor
MCM-4035N-E and color/graphics video card.
As you remove your system components from their cartons, be sure
to inspect each piece. If anything is missing, looks damaged, or seems
wrong, consult your Epson dealer.
You’ll also find a registration card with the main unit. Fill this card
out now and mail it to Epson. With your registration card on file, Epson
can send you update information.
Be sure to keep your packing materials. They provide the best pro-
tection possible for your computer if you need to move or ship it later.
