I have just acquired an ibm pc jr with minimum memory (128K ??), I know nothing
about the pc jr's except that they are no longer sold or supported. If someone
could direct me to the following information, my kids (and I) would be forever
grateful. Thanks in advance...............

1) Is the pc jr an 8088/86 processor ?
2) What is the speed of the processor ?
3) What is the maximum level of DOS the jr can handle (it came with 2.1) ?
4) Can the memory be upgraded ?
5) Without a memory upgrade, where can software be found to run on the jr ?
6) What is available in the way of cartridges for the front bays ?
7) Where can I find the various cartridges that fit in the front bays ?
