Dual Hard Drives on my PCjr (well sort of Dual CF cards)
I was working on an experiment to see if it would work. That experiment was if I could get 2 'Hard Drives' on my PCjr's Jr-IDE card, by Hard Drives I mean 2 Compact FlashCards. I had some success I can get the 2 cards connected, FDisk'ed and Formatted but I could not get the second card formatted to...

Re: New JR owner from TX
Greetings and you are welcome! It's funny but after years of this forum being quiet now I can't keep up with all of the messages. The silver lining in the the Computer Reset cloud is all of the people who now have access to these machines. I think that you are 100% right, I had never even seen a PC...

Re: New to the Group and IBM PCJr But on my way . . .
So a few new photos to share. I got my PCjr from the eBay seller, they packed it well and it came in the original boxes (monitor and PCjr). The Keyboard had massive corrosion on the battery contact and no matter what I could not get it to work. I ended up ordering a new replacement from an eBay sell...

Re: New to the Group and IBM PCJr But on my way . . .
So one BIG step closer - I "won" (like you won something you have to pay for it) an eBay auction for a PCjr kit: https://www.ebay.com/itm/Vintage-IBM-PC-jr-Computer-Color-Monitor-Keyboard-Box-No-cables-/383088074943?_trksid=p2047675.l2557&ssPageName=STRK%3AMEBIDX%3AIT&nma=true&...

New to the Group and IBM PCJr But on my way . . .
I was able to get a Jr-IDE on the last batch that was listed on eBay and I just bought a IBM PC Jr Power Expansion Attachment (I have no idea what it does I only wanted the case). A friend got me a NOB IBM PC Jr Joystick, So if anyone needs the guts of it let me know. I am still on the lookout for a...
