[comp.sys.ibm.pc.hardware] PC JR - CAN I ADD RAM AND HD?

tostan@mars.lerc.nasa.gov (Stan Mohler (SVER)) (05/29/91)

Hi - I'm thinking of buying a used PC Jr built around 1983.  Can anyone answer
these questions:

(1) Can I add a hard drive to use with the 360 K floppy that's already there?
    Will the power supply allow it?  Is the case large enough?

(2) Can I add RAM to the 128 K already there?  How much?  How much will it cost?
    How is it done, with a card or what?

(3) Is 128 K enough memory to run DOS 3.2 and a terminal emulation program 
    like KERMIT, for example.

(4) The machine outputs CGA graphics.  Can I plug a monochrome monitor into it?
    There's also a TTL output.  What can I plug into that?

Thanks for any help.
