Using MS-DOS With Your Equity LT-286
Your Equity LT-286 comes with version 3.3 of MS-DOS. MS-DOS
manages the routine work of your computer system, such as keeping

commands. How much you need to know about MS-DOS depends

create your own programs, see your MS-DOS manual for a
complete description of MS-DOS.
