The disk drive was an option, like the hard drive on the XT. In my
PCjr manual, the disk drive manual is a separate booklet. The owner
was supposed to install it, I think. BTW, why is the PS/1 called that
if it came after the PS/2?
drive, but instead a face plate covering the slot where
the drive would
go? I saw such a thing today and was curious if there were ever any
PCjr's released without internal disk drives. Obviously this one was.
The inside is rather bare as well. There is not the usual cards
inside.
I also saw what looked to be a very small IBM computer. It had all the
connectors on the back, for video, keyboard, printer. It also had two
3.5" bays side by side in the front. The front cover was missing so I
couldn't get any model number off it (not even on the label on the
bottom). The only thing I saw on the label was "Type 2100". I'm
thinking
it might be a PS/1 or something. It was really small,
measuring about
12"
wide by 3" high by 12" deep.
