Epson Y16499100301 - Manual (Page 13)

Introduction
Your Epson® Equity™ LT portable computer is a compact
high-performance system you can use just about anywhere: at
the office, at home, or on the road. Its rechargeable battery lets
you use it in remote locations when you don’t have access to
an electrical outlet. With the AC adapter connected, you can
use the computer as long as you like, and recharge the battery
in the process.
There are two Equity LT models:
l
Dual diskette drive system, with two 3 -inch diskette
drives
l
Hard disk drive system, with one 3 -inch diskette drive
and one 20MB (megabyte) internal hard disk drive.
You probably also chose either the standard or backlit
model LCD (liquid crystal display) screen. The backlit model
features an electroluminescent element that illuminates the
background of the screen.
The Equity LT includes 640KB (kilobytes) of internal
memory and comes with built-in serial and parallel interfaces.
These interfaces let you connect an Epson printer or almost
any other peripheral device you choose.
If you have a color monitor, you can connect it to the
Equity LT to take advantage of the color and the larger
display. If you have the hard disk drive system, you can also
connect an external 5 -inch diskette drive to the
computer; this enables you to use 360KB diskettes from a
computer that has a 5 -inch drive.
Epson offers a 300/1200 baud auto-dial modem which you
can install inside the Equity LT to communicate over the
phone lines with other computers. You can also buy a soft case
for carrying your computer and a cigarette lighter adapter for
an alternate power source. Ask your Epson dealer for
information.
