Re: Best way to capture video/audio of the PCjr

It's in color. See https://youtu.be/ZP4EsbwN5mM I recorded to a Sony DV camcorder. Since it's composite it still has the annoying artifact colors fringing the text (etc) but it's not terrible overall. great, thanks! The demo uses 640x200 in two parts...

Re: PCjr 64kb RAM only - software

so the PCjr 4860-004 didn't come with a floppy drive by default? I didn't know that. So it was almost useless. I wonder what was the target audience...
