The PCjr hooked up to a regular CGA monitor, it just used it better than a

(and BASIC play commands) of the PCjr. Unfortunately, the Tandy 1000 early
models hardwired a foolishly incompatible IRQ for the hard drive. Well,
it _was_ even with that easier and cheaper to expand than the PCjr.

standard cga monitor into the back. if
anyone's interested, i could post the
pinouts of the dongle so you can use cga. the last hamfest i went to have
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.
