Epson equity ie q50188015-1 Manual Do Utilizador

Your Equity Ie comes with version 3.3 of MS-DOS

®

-the operating system

by Microsoft?-and version 3.2 of the GW-BASIC

®

 programming language.

You’ll find reference manuals for both MS-DOS and GW-BASIC packed in

the box with the computer. You probably also purchased other software to
use with your computer; you can use virtually any application program

designed for the IBM PC or PC XT on your Equity Ie.

In addition to MS-DOS and GW-BASIC, Epson has also included several

time-saving utilities that make MS-DOS easier to use: HELP MENU, and

XTREE

®

. The HELP program lets you display information on the screen

about any MS-DOS command. MENU provides an easier way to run many

of the most common MS-DOS commands. XTREE is a file management

utility that simplifies all file and directory operations.

This user’s manual explains how to set up and care for your Equity Ie. It also

describes how to use your computer and run diagnostic checks.

You probably do not need to read everything in this book; some sections

may describe an option you do not have. In fact, if you are already familiar

with computers, you may need to read only Chapters 1 and 3, and Chapter

2 if you have the hard disk model.

The nine steps in Chapter 1 explain how to set up your computer and
prepare it for use. On the inside back cover are illustrations identifying the
different parts of the computer; you may want to refer to this as you set up
the computer.

If you have the hard disk model, you must follow the instructions in

Chapter 2 to prepare the hard disk before you can use it. If you don’t have a
hard disk, skip Chapter 2.

Chapter 3 describes general operating procedures and explains how to use

and care for your disks and disk drives.

Chapter 4 provides basic instructions for using MS-DOS with your

computer.

If you want to install or remove an option card, see Appendix A.
