I have an Epson Equity II machine (1986 vintage) - an XT clone at home,
with a 5 1/4 in. floppy drive. and a 20MG hard drive. We are moving
toward 3.5 in. drives in the office and I would like to add an external
3.5 drive to the Epson at home. Tried a Sysgen drive but had difficulty
getting it to work. Sysgen said it would *not* work with that machine
and Epson's voice mail refers me to "your local dealer". I've called
around but haven't found local vendor who can tell me how to make it
work, or can suggest another product or fix. It is not a matter of the
DOS. I have access to 3.3 and that doesn't work either. Someone
suggested upgrading the BIOS. Am willing to do that if not too
difficult, but would need to know how and who to get an upgraded BIOS
from. The CPU by the way is a NEC V20 (or V30 chip). Any advisement
would be appreciated.
