Mike's PCjr Page

Mine is due in on Saturday so I'll be able to try it first thing Monday morning. I am curious how it works with the keyboard buffer routines on the PCE Combo v.2 cartridge. My guess is it shouldn't make a difference.

Colonel Sanders having a PCjr didn't seem right as I seem to remember where I was living when I heard he had died and that was earlier. Yep, not possible as Colonel Sanders died in 1980. It was a sad day for my fried chicken loving self. Of course, that was before Bojangles opened (and unfortunately...

What would prevent the use of a real PCjr keyboard cable trimmed down?

Calling "dibs" or is that some kind of obscure Brooklynese term

I would also want one.

I put the Megaboard back on. I recently switched from a crippled Rapport Drive II System (nothing but the floppy worked) to a working Racore Drive II unit. The Racore unit has a more robust power supply and supplies both +12V and +5v to the sidecar. I am thinking of adding a small exhausting fan to ...

I had a floppy drive develop read problems. It is the A drive in a PCjr with a Racore Drive II. I swapped it out with a known good drive. I decided It would be easier to just pull the power supply card (10") out to swap the fan power cable. It wouldn't come out. I tugged a little harder and got...

The difference being with the DMA version having the DMA chip, different jumper settings and removal of a terminating resister. Racore sold a kit that allowed a user to upgrade the Model 1500 to the Model 1501. They also put o...

Good find. One of my PCjr monitors is being to hum. Maybe nothing, maybe a sign of impending death. Could be the way to go

I too have a few of those thrift store 1024 x 768 14" LCD monitors. How do you pass up flawless monitors for $12.99
