As I recall, the PC Jr. does not use CGA but rather
EGA. Something in
the back of my mind says that the REAL PC Jr. monitor is not quite EGA
but definetely better than CGA.
It's enhanced CGA. The IBM monitor _was_ the 5153 CGA monitor with an
adapter cable (or at least it was when my Techref was printed - it gives
the wirelist of the adapter and the schematics of the 5153).
The video circuitry in the PC-jr can output a few more modes that a CGA
card can't (320*200 in 16 colours, etc), but the monitor is a normal CGA
one.
