OMG, great video, my dad bought me a PCjr in 1983 and i so me and my brother could learn computers for the future! this was in El Salvador 83, so i dont remember any other family that had a computer at home, it was so cool and came with the joystick and i had a game named Jumpman, my dad is dead now but i have to thank him for his forward thinking, I LOVE U DAD wherever you are and thanks for everything.

gotta love that "Bzzzzt-k-k-k-k" noise those 5-1/2 drives make. Retrocomputing ftw.

I remember using these in computer business class back in 1986.

Man... I miss that sound...
Why is the backside of the PCjr damaged? It looks someone took a crowbar and pried the top cover off.

@HoneycombAgent It was hacked back in the 80s to let a floppy cable feed through to an external second floppy drive :-)
