MS-DOS is not the only operating system you can use with
your computer. If you have a hard disk you also may want to
use MS®OS/2.
A
mong other capabilities, MS OS/2 provides
multitasking, dual-mode processing, and online help. With
Epson’s version of MS OS/2, you can have both MS-DOS and
MS OS/2 on your Equity 386SX; this way, you can select which
operating system to load each time you turn on the computer.
Ask your Epson dealer for more information.
