Q22.

What extended hard drive support is available in the ROM BIOS that

comes with the Epson Equity 386SX?

The Seiko - Epson BIOS will directly support hard drives that range

in size from 10Mb to 153Mb. There is direct support for the Seagate

ST- 251 and the ST - 4096 hard disks, as well as, several ESDI

drives. By providing this support for 3rd party hard disk drives, the

Equity 386SX has the capability to use most 3rd party 8 - bit

16 - bit hard disk controllers. SCSI drives have their own controllers

attached to the drive and should work correctly when attached to

the bus with a host adapter.

The Equity 386SX also has a User Definable setting that allows you

to set up hard disk drives that are not supported by the Equity

386SX Drive Type Table. In SETUP, a sub - menu lists the settings

you can change for each drive: the number of cylinders (tracks), the

number of read/write

precompensation cylinder, the landing zone (the cylinder on which

you want to park the heads when moving the computer), and the

total storage capacity in megabytes.

Q23.

What types of floppy disk drives will work on the Equity 386SX?

The Equity 386SX comes standard with a 3.5" 1.44Mb floppy disk

drive. There is built- in BIOS support for industry standard 360Kb

and 1.2Mb 5.25" half - height floppy disk drives as well as the 720Kb

3.5" floppy drive. All four drive sizes are available from Epson.

Q24.

Will the Equity 386SX support 3 floppy disk drives?

No, not directly. The Epson controller and ROM BIOS

maximum of two floppy drives. The internal floppy controller cannot

be disabled.

Q25.

Can the floppy disk controller be disabled?

No. The floppy disk controller is integrated in the system board and

there are no jumpers to enable or disable it. If an additional or 3rd

party board is present the BIOS ROM auto- configure at bootup.
