I would still think any memory expansion option would

because the computer can boot with carts installed rather than floppy and
also, the standard pcjr model has no disk drives! The enhanced model that
everyone seems to have includes one floppy drive.
That would certainly make sense.
But this is IBM.
I had several, (purchased originally without drives)
I sold the last of them at VCF. The last one that I sold had a expansion
unit that needed "special software", and homemade drive mounts (erector
set parts)
I remember 2 different brands of memory expansion units that required
"special software" to see the memory. And one that did NOT require
"special software" - there was a ROM in it in addition to the RAM.
The original question mentioned it being a "Rapport" unit. Was that the
same company that made the "Impulse" unit?
