Option Cards

An option card is a circuit board you install in your computer

to add a particular

function.

Most option cards

contain a

device, such as a modem, or provide an interface, such as a

serial port.

Your computer has six 16-bit option slots,

each

which

can

buy option cards from

authorized Epson dealers as well as other vendors.

that the power required by the card does not exceed the power

limit for its slot, and that the total power for all the cards does
