It was thus said that the Great jpero(a)mail.cgo.wave.ca once stated:
Is the orignal transformer brick underpowered if I put extra add ons?
Yes. I have a PCjr with a parallel extension and several memory
extensions (two I think - it's at home, I'm at work) and I have a secondary
power supply (that hooks up the same as all extentions, off the side).
Is that true that there is a lots of add ons for this
PCjr? I would
like to seperate the video to a proper video such as VGA card so it
would not hog up the main memory and boost it to 640k. Finally is
there a add on that allows me to plug a DMA chip in to speed up the
floppy? It is nice compact computer! What I planning is to make this
PCjr more of an real XT with SLOTS than a just a cheap
vanilla-favored PCjr. Where's is good source to find these parts?
You might want to try a web search on PCjr. I've heard of companies that
supply parts, although for DMA, you'll have to have drivers since the BIOS
does not support DMA driven I/O.
