I have three of these, and they''re awesome little machines but a lot more trouble than many people might suspect.
|
||||
|
||||
Good:\
|
||||
\- keyboard is fantastic\
|
||||
\- floppy interface is standard 34 pin\
|
||||
\- stylish\
|
||||
\- jr graphics and audio\
|
||||
\- IBM did sell a cluster option that let you network them off an XT/AT system, but I''ve never seen one in person.
|
||||
|
||||
Bad:\
|
||||
\- 3.5" drives (unless you get the 86/87 model) are double stepped by the BIOS - providing 360KB but being incompatible with any standard computer\
|
||||
\- 3.5" drives are slightly taller than modern 3.5" drives making it hard to source replacements that look nice\
|
||||
\- expansion is very limited, a small range of IBM cards available and once you add memory+serial you''re out of slots and need to buy an expansion unit. No sidecars. 512KB RAM max.\
|
||||
\- high resolution mode and Kanji support was only available on the Japanese model. Wont fit on AU/NZ model as PSU is in the way.\
|
||||
\- still boots up in 40 col mode for some reason\
|
||||
\- clips that hold the case together just fall apart with age when you look at them
|
||||
|
||||
Actually quite a bit of work dealing with these, but I love mine nonetheless.

Does anybody know where I can find an OS and software for a black IBM PC JX I recently brought for $5NZ ($2.50 for Americans) ?\
|
||||
Please reply if you know of any info.
