How do you connect two joysticks when there is only one joystick
connector?
A joystick adapter cable with 3 connectors is available from computer
dealers which allows you to connect two joysticks into the single port.
Will IBM compiled BASIC programs run on the APEX 100?
Most BASIC programs written for the IBM PC- XT will run on the APEX
100.
As with all compatible computers, some IBM and Tandy BASIC
programs will not run.
This is because they require IBM BASICA which is
resident in copyrighted ROMs.
All compatibles use a version of
GW- BASIC which is loaded from diskette.
Due to differences in the
BASIC, some programs will not operate correctly.
What type of modem can be used with the APEX 100?
IBM PC/XT- compatible internal modems can be used, as well as, external
modems which connect to the serial interface port.
Epson manufactures both types of modems, the Epson Link 1200 external
1200 baud modem (Epson Part No. C202A- A) and the Epson Link
1200 - PC internal modem (Epson Part No. C203A - A), which can be
purchased from Epson Accessories, Inc. at 1 - 800 - 873 - 7766.
Will the APEX 100 work in foreign countries?
The APEX 100 computer can be used in both the United States and
internationally simply by selecting the appropriate input voltage on the
voltage selection switch located on the rear of the unit. The APEX 100 will
operate on either 115VAC or 230VAC at 50/60 Hz power.
Most monitors and printers are not designed to operate on dual voltages
and will be damaged if plugged into the wrong AC voltage. This applies to
the Apex monitors and printers as well. You should use a step down
transformer to convert 230VAC to 115VAC for these types of products.
Can the Xenix Operating System be used?
The APEX 100 has been tested and certified by Santa Cruz Operations to
be compatible with the Xenix System V 86XT Operating System.
