Introduction

The Epson

Equity

386/33 PLUS is a high-performance

personal computer which offers exceptional speed and

convenience in a compact design.

Your 33 MHz, 80386DX system includes 4MB of internal

memory, a built-in VGA (video graphics array) display

adapter, built-in parallel and serial interfaces, and an IBM

PS/2™ compatible mouse port. With these interfaces, you can

connect most of your peripheral devices directly to the

computer, without installing option cards.

The Equity 386/33 PLUS also has four option slots (three 16-bit

and one 8-bit) in which you can install additional devices, such

as a modem or a network card. It can support up to three

internal drives: either two diskette drives and one hard disk

drive, or one diskette drive and two hard disk drives.

The alternate VGA feature connector provides an interface to

connect an optional high-resolution graphics adapter card. This

allows you to use the special graphics features on the adapter

card while accessing the standard VGA signals provided by

your main system board.

Your system offers 128KB of shadow RAM to speed up

processing by moving the ROM BIOS and video ROM into the

RAM area of memory. Additionally, the 64KB of cache memory

lets the computer copy portions of memory into a high-speed

cache buffer so it can access programs and data very quickly.
