Hello Aaron, welcome to the list.. I dealt with a PC jr a few years ago,
and iirr, it didn't boot itself, you had to insert a dos (gawd help me
what version) floppy to get it to boot. No clue as to whether that's the
problem, but I'd suggest you try it. No guarantees, but, if you do need
one, I've got a steel box at work with a bunch of old floppies in it,
and I'll be happy to check it, and see if I still have a boot floppy
in there.. Oh, also, fwiw, the PC jr I played with, the floppy drive
was kind of "iffy" as to functioning properly, hopefully a
characteristic
local to the machine I was dealing with..

Howdy all,
My name is Aaron Hayden and I have recently joined the list. Currently in
my collection I have a C64, a PC Jr., a Hero robot and my trusty 486-66. I
enjoy using the older systems and in some cases I think they're a bit more
user friendly (at least for me). I was looking for some info on my PC Jr.
and found the list. I'm sure I'll gain some knowledge and hopefully give
some too. Which brings me to my first question... I was just recently
given the PC Jr. however it seems it doesn't work. I have only plugged it
in a couple times but haven't looked at it much more than that. I also do
not have any documentation on it so I'm flying blind. When I turn it on the
screen turns all grey. Anybody have this problem before? It has been
sitting for a while but worked fine until it was boxed up. It came w/ two
power supplies so maybe their both bad? Any ideas? thanks in advance.
Aaron
