Hi All, If you aren't laughing already from the "keywords" line, here goes (get ready to laugh). I have been asked to determine the feasability of putting both a hard drive and CD Rom drive into a PCjr. Obviously, these would have to be EXTERNAL, or maybe internal to an expansion chassis, because I _know_ that they won't fit into a PCjr case. I am looking for recommendations on: 1) Hard Drive / CD drive systems that work directly with the PCjr. 2) Modifications for the PCjr that make it look more like a PC or XT (expansion chassis, weird plug in modules, etc.), so that I can use std PC/XT cards for a hard drive & CD rom 3) Upgrades using any of the pieces of the PCjr. I has informed that the PCjr has a CGA (I don't believe CGA, I do believe "color monitor"). Given that info, what could I salvage (monitor, RAM, etc.) if a new case, power supply, motherboard (cheapy 8088 10Mhz), etc. was purchased? 4) Resale value of the whole thing (STOP LAUGHING!!!! :-) ), so that we can apply it towards the cost of (believe it or not) a 10Mhz XT system. I'll admit being pretty proficient at tearing PC/XT/AT/... apart and re-building, but the PCjr is just too different for me to know what the deal is.... So, I ask you for your help and advice... ******* Please - reply directly to me - I don't get the oppty to read c.s.i.p.h that often (twice a month), so I miss many messages. I will post a summary to all interested parties, either individually, or to the net if I get more than 10 summary requests. ****** Thank you in Advance for all your Advice, and I hope you had as good a laugh as I did when I was asked the question :-) !!!
