(Drat you, Mike Brutman! :D )

Cash ready. Extras a plus. Tasty modifications a plus. I have several CGA monitors, so I (probably) don't need an original.

Trade desired? I have a variety of nice Tandy 1000s, a Tandy 4020 SX (Tandy 4020 SX support), or an IBM 5170 (high serial number) (these are NOT for sale, merely offered as possible enticement for a nice PCjr).

You should be *very* careful with that machine. The Quadram expansion is basically a Rapport/Racore expansion but it might have some different logic on the board; the software that came with it was different than the standard Rapport/Racore software. The PC/XT keyboard converter I assume is from Racore, and that is another nice but uncommon option. And the SASI card is incredible - those were extremely rare. (I have one here from a friend that I need to do some bringup on; I contacted the original designer and he had a good memory, but his original paperwork related to it is gone.)

RIM made a SASI card - it plugs into the modem slot. Later PC Enterprises developed SCSI sidecars, one based on a Seagate chipset and one based on a Future Domain chipset. If you have the SASI card what drive do you have and what bridge/interface board do you have with it?

Better yet, pm a list of what you have and how much you want for it. Assume that I don't know exactly what I want in a system.

You want a jrIDE for sure!

I've spent too little time lately with my jr; but after a little overclocking is a more than serious machine. Enjoy!
 
i took a look at the sasi card, and its the rim - goes in modem slot. and it did come with the sasi/mfm/rll bridge. doesnt autoboot, but i do have a boot floppy with drivers.

Ok - there is a cartridge that fixes that problem called "HardBIOS". What drive did they use? A Seagate ST225?

Please take pictures and image the floppy disk - it's a very rare machine.
