Is a PS/1 machine considered to be in 'family one'? My school had a PS/1
486-25 (processor speed, not model#) Consultatnt (I think), that when the
HD died, it booted to IBM BASIC. It was also able to access the drives,
but was in ROM BASIC.

the pcjr is like any other IBM family one machine in that it will boot to
basic unless it has a disk device or in the case of the pcjr, a cartridge
inthe slot.
