SOFTWARE
Q24. MS-DOS 4.01 is included. Is there any other Epson NB3s-specific software?
A24. Yes. In addition to the MODE2 utility mentioned above, the Reference diskette
also contains SETLCD (which allows you to change the gray-scale mapping),
RESPRG (for TSR programs that conflict with the computer’s “hot-key”
functions) and the Diagnostics utility.
Q25. What about memory management software?
A25. The standard Microsoft memory manager, EMM386.SYS, is included. For
more flexibility in memory management, you may wish to purchase a third-
party program, such as QEMM386 from Quarterdeck Office Systems or
386MAX from Qualitas Software.
Q26. Is MS-DOS 3.3 compatible? That’s what we use for the local area network
nodes in my office.
A26. Yes, Epson’s MS-DOS 3.3 (product code A806851) has been installed and
tested. There are 2 points to make note of - first, there is no memory
management software included with MS-DOS 3.3, so you’ll have to go with a
third-party package. Secondly, the computer powers up with NUM LOCK
enabled. You can either remember to press the NUM LOCK key, or you can
create a small (15 byte) program to turn NUM LOCK off from your
AUTOEXEC.BAT file. Create a straight ASCII text file called NUMOFF.SCR that
consists of the following lines:
a100
xor ax,ax
mov ds,ax
mov ax, [ 0417]
and ax,0000
mov [0417] ,ax
int 20
rcx
