memory, five standard option slots (four 16-bit and one 8-bit),
serial and parallel interfaces, and an auxiliary mouse connector.
You can easily upgrade your computer by installing additional
memory and adding optional devices.
Because of its industry-standard architecture, the Equity 386SX
is fully compatible with the current installed base of personal
computer hardware and software. You can install just about any
optional device that is compatible with the IBM@ Personal
Computer, PC XT™, or PC AT™.
You can expand the computer’s memory up to 14MB by
adding memory modules to a special card that comes with the
Equity 386SX. Memory modules are efficient because they
eliminate the need to use one of your option slots to add
memory to your computer. If you do choose to use a memory
card, you can increase the computer’s memory up to 16MB.
