Introduction
Your Epson® Equity™ III personal computer is a versatile, high-
performance system which offers you a wide variety of choices. First you
choose between two models of the Equity III main unit, then you select
the monitor and peripherals you want to use with it to assemble the
configuration that does the most for you.
The Equity III main unit is available in these models:
l One 1.2MB (high-density) floppy disk drive
l One 1.2MB floppy disk drive and one 20MB internal hard disk drive
Both models include 640KB of memory. You can install additional drives
in your Equity III to increase its storage capacity: a second floppy disk
drive (either 360KB or 1.2MB) and one or more hard disks (20MB or
40MB, depending on your configuration).
Optional cards and external devices further expand the capabilities
of your Equity III. Its built-in serial and parallel interfaces let you con-
nect almost any peripheral device you choose. Here are some options
you can use with your system:
Monochrome monitor
Monochrome video card
RGB color monitor
Color/graphics video card
Memory expansion card
80287 Math coprocessor
Mouse and mouse interface card
An Epson printer or plotter
You can also use most cards for the IBM® Personal Computer,
PC XT™, and PC AT™ on the Equity III. Check with your Epson dealer
from time to time to find out which peripherals and option cards are
available.
