PCjr Software Trade

[psergiu]

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 Trade.
I have something you need, you have something I need, we negotiate a trade (I am open to 2 of mine for 1 of yours, and even more for rarer stuff), and we both send each-other packages.
I do not care if the plastic case of what you are sending me is cracked/scratched/yellowed as I have a bunch of new & shiny cases.
I do not intend to sell any of them until all trade offers are considered.

(PS: for anyone getting needlessly upset that "I took all the software from Computer Reset" - no, I did not. Every time I discovered a box of software, I just took a few and made sure there are more left for others.)

Is the Fixed disk organizer for the Jr or Standard IBM

[psergiu]

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

[chuckphd53]

I have two standard 'big brother' machines IBMXT I was wondering if this would work,,,

[Draxxon]

I have 123 Lotus cartridge A and B, the carts only.

I have no games, I would take anything really.

[psergiu]

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 weekend and upload a new picture & list you can choose from.
Thank you !

[Draxxon]

That sounds fine. I am located in Illinois.

I will wait to see the new list, so far I am mostly interested in the learning games that use the basic cart and the PCJr sampler.

[Draxxon]

Just checking on ya to see if we are still on. Hope you are doing well, not trying to rush you, buddy.

[psergiu]

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.

[Draxxon]

Thanks for the reply. I look forward to seeing what you saved.

Glad to know all is well. Take your time, brother.

[psergiu]

Here is all the IBM/PCjr stuff I have for trade (unless I find some more stuff while sorting out my collection)

You can import as CSV: "software name, available copies". Some are shrink-wrapped and pristine, some are used & dirty and everything in between, pls ask details.

I also have a bunch of 3rd party DOS software that will work on PCjr or PC/XT/AT - I will catalog that too.

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 trash container;
- If there's no one left that wants to trade, I will put them up for sale, at very reasonable prices. But 1st I want to fill up my collection.
- The cassette cases for the Assistant series software can be used to replace more valuble broken ones or to host reproductions (which I plan to do for all cassette software I won't be able to get)

[chuckphd53]

That is all right..... We are PC folks no judging here !

So with that said...

I have an original IBM XTPC
so I am sure I would like some of the software packages that might look nice sitting next to that machine

I will have to get you a list so much to sort thru and so little time... ugh..
Chuck

[Draxxon]

Thank you for the updated list. I sent you a PM.

[psergiu]

Push send again for the PM - the forum software seems to have some hiccups.
Will add some of the other software today

[Draxxon]

I did try re-sending. If all else fails, send me one and I will reply.

(I also sent you a PM at the other PCJr forum "Mike's")
