Tony,
Thank you. I have a TMC850Jr on one of my IBM PCJr's, this is a SCSI
controller card. I have a small hard drive and also am trying to get a CDROM
to work, the drive is recognized, but I have no DOS based software on CD. I
use DOS 6.22 so I should be able to run any IBM compatable software that will
run on CGA, I want to get the VGA sidecar for the Jr.Can anyone one help me
with my needs for this EDSEL of computing. I like this machine. This is the
first computer I have ever owned and been able to fix. I have, of course, been
teaching myself how to work on all my computers. The Osborne 1, an IBM 286,
several IBM PC XT's, a Leading Edge.

NOT PC-Jr.
Although there are a few superficial similarities, and many of the same
letters in the name, it is a different machine. Among other things, the
JX uses a 720K 5.25" drive.
I hope there are more significant differences. The PC-jr hardware is
quite capable of controlling 720K drives....
