Re: Computer Reset Sidecar cases
Ok. I went there yesterday and have retrieved 24 Parallel port sidecars. A few of them in pristine condition, most of them a bit wet and/or crumpled at a corner. All shrink-wrapped and sealed. How does this sounds: $10+shipping for a mint condition one sent in a padded cardboard box so it arrives re...

Re: PCjr Software Trade
Before anyone asks: - Yes, I'm not normal. But I had to save the software ! - No she hasn't left me yet; - There's no more software at Computer Reset. The last time I was there helping with the cleanup, all software was purged. Everything that did not fit in my car was chucked into a 40 cubic yard t...

Computer Reset 1991 PCjr catalog
While helping with the final cleanup at Computer Reset I picked up a stack of document folders that had some of the (once omnipresent) 1995 Computer Reset store catalogs between them. Shuffling the folders, I something more interesting - a 1991 catalog, with mostly PCjr stuff. There are some options...

Computer Reset Sidecar cases
One question for the folks here - at the end of the Computer Reset warehouse there's about half a pallet of badly water-damaged boxes of PCjr parallel printer sidecars. All the good looking ones have been picked thru. While the PCB inside might or might not be recoverable, the sidecar plastic cases ...

Re: PCjr Software Trade
Sorry. Each Saturday I ended up helping at Computer Reset with the final cleanup and ... the pile grew larger
Hope this weekend I'll have the list ready.

Re: PCjr Software Trade
The answer is YES. 5 of mine for those 2 of yours sounds okay ? In the mean time, the "wall of gray software" has doubled. I attended the cleanup event when most of the remaining IBM software was thrown away and I picked up everything I could get my hands on. Will try to sort them this wee...

Re: Out for a few days.....
Had the same operation 7 years ago. I asked for the recording and they gave-it to me on a CD. It's very interesting to watch your own insides getting sliced and poked :) As a tech guy, it sadden me to find out that the camera, lights and all the cable-operated tools that were inside you get trashed ...

Re: PCjr Software Trade
On the back label, the System requirements are:
IBM Display
128KB of memory
One fixed disk drive
One diskette drive
(c) IBM Corp 1983
So it predates the PCjr. As IBM never shipped a fixed drive option for PCjr, guess it was never marketed for the jr, but i don't see why it would not work with JRide

PCjr Software Trade
I live in North DFW, and over the last 10 months and 14 trips at Computer Reset I have accumulated a lot of PCjr software, especially in "Cassette" plastic cases. My hope is to have a (near) complete collection of software for my PCjrs So I am offering my "Dupes" collection for T...

Re: Radio Shack COCO
It's a CoCo3 bought at an estate sale - 1st time seeing this computer - there weren't any clones of it in Eastern Europe :) Got a CoCoSDC for it and thus I discovered that I have a bad RAM chip - all larger games were crashing. I now got the Triad 2MB RAM expansion (which disables the on-board RAM) ...

DC Power Brick for PCjr
Hello,
Has anyone attempted to replace the 18V AC power brick for a PCjr with a DC power supply (repurposed laptop charger) ? The rectifier bridge should not care if the incoming power is 0Hz
Thanks !

8087 in PCjr
Anyone tried adding a 8087 in a PCjr ? Based of stuff found on the interwebz, in can be either piggybacked on top of the 8088 with some pins unconnected and one diagonal connection or both 8088 & 8087 installed on a small PCB that plugs into the CPU socket (back in the day Legacy and one more co...

Re: PCjr floppy drive in newer PC
Answer:
It works.
- Jumper has to be on DS1
- If the drive is in the middle of the cable ( B: or /dev/fd1 ) it works without a terminator
