jr-IDE for PCjrs (Re: XT-IDE V2 PCBs)

Thanks, but I want to stress that it is only partly my work. I did the original hacking to get the original XT-IDE onto the PCjr, but the sidecar is way way far more advanced than that work. Alan (not on the list) did a great job with it. It took a little debugging to get it stable, but I've been using my machine happily since then. If you've never seen a PCjr, don't despair - think of a near PC clone that is almost impossible to upgrade because the expansion bus is non-standard and you can have conflicts with the built-in goodies. Having a PCjr that can boot from a hard drive directly using its BIOS is a magical thing. Like the XT-IDE, the intent is to use a modern IDE drive that supports LBA access. (Compact Flash with an adapter or Disk On Module are equivalent.) I've measured better than 300KB/sec reads Now all we need is a native Ethernet adapter ... Mike
