Were there any third party hardware vendors for the JX?
Not that there is any documentation of.

Did it have anything to do with IBM already having a large presence in Australia due to already having a manufacturing plant in Wangaratta? Suppose that leads to another question, was the JX ever produced in Australia?

but sadly IBM dumped their non-selling stock in Australia and New Zealand, and it was never offered in the USA. I have a lot of reading to do!
Kinda interested in the question of compatibility. Does PCjr-specific software run out-of-the-box on the JX? How about the other way around (excluding software meant for the Japanese model, of course)?
The JX Sampler disk (on Anthony's site) looks rather like the PCjr Sampler disk, with a similar selection of demonstration programs... but it's prone to freezes when running on a PCjr, at least an emulated one.

I have uploaded my poor attempts at scanning the documents I have.
