I ran PE3TEST on both of my adapters:
1. PE3-10BC, DOS 3.3 or DOS 5.02, "2/21/97 4:30:44", passes testing, never any strange lockups
2. PE3-10BT, DOS 3.3 or DOS 5.02, "3/15/97 13:25:20", passes testing, no issues DOS 5.02, regular lockups (1 per minute) on DOS 3.3

Re: PCjr temporarily freezes cyclically

I put the 10BT in my other jr and it works fine with no freezes. So the 10BT has this issue only on my machine running DOS 3.3 but not o...

Re: PCjr temporarily freezes cyclically
I'm having the same problem on a jr I just put together with two sidecars.. a jrIDE and bidirectional parallel with a Xircom PE3-10BT. I start getting the temp freezes after loading the packet driver. I've tried changing the driver settings from int=7 to int=0 with same results. I also ran the PE3TE...

PC DOS 5 Editor
I finally built my second jrIDE sidecar and have PC DOS 5.02 running great on it. I'm having trouble using the DOS edit.com program... the keyboard gets wacky and I can't type anything.

Re: PCJR Board by D. Severson ???

There are a bunch of other files including a few programs. If you want me to zip the folder and send to you, let me know... *edit*...

Re: Best way to capture video/audio of the PCjr
I get a B&W picture on everything I've plugged into the composite output on my PCjr. I've tried with older & newer flatscreens, a composite to VGA adapter, and also a composite to usb capture device. My C64, TI99, and 800XL all put out a good color picture on these devices...

Re: Definitive jr-IDE compatibility list?
I had the same problem with a Hyperdisk DOM on my jrIDE with PC DOS 3.3 ... I used the attached DEBUG script to clear the non-DOS partitions and then ran FDISK/FORMAT. Worked perfect. Hope this helps!
