The EL2 and EL3s are compact machines released by Epson in the early 90s.

The EL2 and EL3s share a common M-IO board with a separate board that contains the CPU, BIOS, and memory connection.

The RAM is a custom module that often includes some on-board ram and slots for custom SIMM slots.


Linked is the BIOS setup disk (in Italian) for the Epson EL2 286 computer.
