PCjr HARDWARE SUPPLIERS
BY TOM PORPIGLIA
PC^3 USERS GROUP
PCjr SIG CHAIRPERSON
ROCHESTER, NY
Hardware availability for the PCjr has always been an issue; who has
what and for how much. I have spent hours collecting and reading literature
from the various companies and would like to share this with all of the
dedicated PCjr users out there who might not know where to go for hardware.
These are the most recent known vendors. It is by no means an endorsement of
any one vendor, however I will make some recommendations based strictly on
literature, reputation, and configuration needs.
If you are looking strictly for memory add-ons then you should contact
Micro Advanced Systems, Honey Computers, PC Enterprises or Micro Products
(formerly Impulse)
If you already have a memory expansion and are looking for a 2nd disk
drive or hard disk check out Electronic Specality Devices or J & M systems and
Honey Computers.
The best buy for the money for memory and drive expansions is Racore.
Just remember that if you already have memory expanded beyond 128k that you
will have to discard your expansion and use Racore's memory. Legacy has a
very good unit but is very expensive.
Additionally, if you have a limited memory expansion such as the Techmar
Captain, Microsoft Booster, or IBM memory expansion etc., these units can be
modified cost-effectively to provide full memory expansion. Contact Electronic
Specality Devices, or PC Enterprizes.
There are two national PCjr User Groups, and a jr Newsletter. I am
familiar only with the Peanut Gallery, which has a tremendous membership and
product support. The newsletter is informative and has something to interest
everyone.
