This is my *ORIGINAL* IBM PCjr....a little machine that came out around 1983...it has some unique features! Watch this video and you may feel quite nostalgic, especially if you grew up using such machines like I did.

  • 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 :-)

  • The question is will it run windows 7

  • @TheYoshiPC No, but it boots faster!

  • 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 used this to run the "Primary Editor" program in grade school. There were some phonics games that used voice and polyphony as well.

  • @jmetal88 High-res pictures of the internals, including the hack board, are now on fastmhz.com under "information" and "Vintage Computer Collection"

  • back when computers needed more than half of a brain to be used

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

  • Man I miss that startup sound...
