Epson HX-20 Benutzerhandbuch

permanently with the desired
capabilities. Only one option

ROM can fit inside the HX-20 at

a time, but it’s a powerful means

of customizing the HX-20 for a

desired application-without

diminishing in any way its abil-
ity to run BASIC programs or to

accept  option cartridges.

Option cartridges  also tailor

the HX-20 for specific applica-
tions. You can install a cartridge
in moments, simply by sliding it
into a recessed compartment in

the case of the HX-20. Insert a

program  cartridge for one or

more ready-to-run applications

programs; or slide in the  micro-

cassette  cartridge, which con-

tains a complete microcassette

recorder suitable for storing
programs and data files.

If your applications require

more memory than the HX-20

features, just attach an  expan-

sion unit,  which virtually dou-

bles the read-write memory
and permanent memory of the

system.

Should you decide to expand

the capabilities of your HX-20
even further, you may connect it
to such external devices as:

-an ordinary  cassette recorder,

for permanent storage of pro-

grams and data;

-a  display controller,  which

enables the HX-20 to display
text and graphics on your

television set or on a video

monitor;

-a  printer,  for full-page print-

outs of text and graphics;

I

-a  modem  or  acoustic coupler,

to enable your HX-20 to com-

municate over telephone lines
to other computers and net-
