I believe the DOS version was PC-DOS 2.11. From reading previous posts on
this list, and other places, the floppy drive in the PCjr was fairly
flimsy, so if may be a "standard" problem.

Hello Aaron, welcome to the list.. I dealt with a PC jr a few years ago,
and iirr, it didn't boot itself, you had to insert a dos (gawd help me
what version) floppy to get it to boot. No clue as to whether that's the
problem, but I'd suggest you try it. No guarantees, but, if you do need
one, I've got a steel box at work with a bunch of old floppies in it,
and I'll be happy to check it, and see if I still have a boot floppy
in there.. Oh, also, fwiw, the PC jr I played with, the floppy drive
was kind of "iffy" as to functioning properly, hopefully a
characteristic
local to the machine I was dealing with..
