That sounds _very_ much like a PC-jr. It has
connectors for audio and
composite video (RCA sockets) and BERG headers for RS232, 2 joysticks,
CGA (TTL RGBI) monitor, lightpen, cassette, keyboard. No printer port -
that was an optional 'sidecar' module.
I think we have established now that this _is_ basically a PC-Jr ! Except:
it has a different model number
it is black
it has a 3.5" disk in the main unit, not a 5.25" drive, and room for
another
it has a printer port on the back of the main unit (DB-25 type connector)
the video ("display") port on the back of the main unit is a DB-15 type
connector
it was not sold in the USA
I have not mentioned before that it does have the two cartridge ports in the
same place under the floppy drive at the bottom of the main unit.
Unless anyone else wants more details, that is all I expect anyone wants to
know about the "JX". The only doubt about its designation that I have, is
that it does not say "JX" (or anything other than IBM) on it anywhere!
I have had one keen enquiry about the unit from a US collector, so unless
the freight charges work out too much, and if the trade is a fair and
interesting swap, it looks like it will have a new home.
