NEW COLOR - By Popular Demand

Post by Chuckphd53 »

Ok here is the updated system, since soooo many did not like the color "KHAKI" I changed it to NAVAJO WHITE...
which is a little creamer than the original plastic colors as you can tell by the Joystick sitting next to it...
This is it....ain't painting it again.....

Anyway......I also added the Top unit and moved some items around, I wanted the Second 5.25 Drive which was sorely missed
when doing copy functions...
Also had room so I added the IBM Logo

I added the flip switches to allow the selection of DRIVE A as needed ,
A1=bottom 5.25
A2=top 3.5
A3=USB
B1=top 5.25
B2=top 3.5

Drives fall out in this manner

A: 5.25
B: 5.25 /3.5 /USB
C:JrIDE
D: 3.5 (bottom)
E: ZIP DRIVE
F: 3.5 (top 720k)
G: 3.5 (bottom 720k)

Now with the 3Flop Board I designed the A/B switch allows you to SWAP the selected A+B drives on the fly
for instance...
(all drives can be swapped on the fly, just need to allow the drive to STOP before changing switch selection)

A/B switch in the A postion
A = 5.25 bottom
B = 5.25 top

with a flip of the switch A/B to the B position
A=5.25 top
B=5.25 bottom

this function of the A/B switch can give great flexibly of drive selection...
if you need more details on this let me know and I will expand on this in this thread...

This is just so delightfully obscene -- I love it! A real tower of power for the PCjr.

Hopefully there's a jrIDE hiding in there somewhere, right? If not, it seems even more obscene to have all those floppy and LPT devices and no single hard drive...
You're all insane and trying to steal my magic bag!
