SUBJECT:
USING THE PLUS DEVELOPMENT "HARDCARD" WITH EQUITY I/II
The Plus Development
"HardCard" is a
20 megabyte
fixed disk
mounted on an expansion slot card, for use in IBM PC/XT and
compatible computers. The unit employs controller circuitry from
OMTI/Scientific Micro Systems,
and uses 2,7 RLL encoding.
The HardCard
has been found to be compatible with the Equity I
and
II computers,
but there
has been
some
confusion among
customers
who are
running through the installation procedures.
This is due to
the HardCard's
special
installation procedure
which
has
been designed
specifically for use with PC-DOS.
Because of certain file name differences
between Epson's MS-DOS
and IBM's
PC-DOS, the
Plus install
program will
not run using
Equity MS-DOS.
Unfortunately,
Plus Development does
not officially
support the
use of the HardCard in the Equity computer series, because it has
not been formally tested and
approved by Plus
Development. It
has,
however, been tested
and officially approved by Epson's
Vendor support staff.
The HardCard is shipped in a
partitioned and formatted state,
with a number of files included on it.
The directory of files is
