Good afternoon!
This is partly a repeat of a reply I made to the "Repair Workshop this
weekend" thread, but I just thought of a second thing I need to borrow
so I'm asking in a new thread.
I'm going to be going down this weekend with my PCjr, with the
intention of stress testing it ahead of a possible VCF East exhibit.
My plan is to do a brief talk on the PCjr, but I want to accompany it
with an IBM StoryBoard Plus presentation running *on* the PCjr itself.
I've ordered some PCjr cartridge-to-SD adapters, but they won't arrive
in time. And while I will bring my PC-AT with me for developing the
presentation on, it would be even better if I could develop the
presentation directly on the PCjr (so as to stress test it).
So here is what I would need to borrow this weekend:
* A "PCjr Adapter Cable for Serial Devices" (so that I can attempt to
connect a serial mouse to the PCjr
* A card reader cartridge for the PCjr (like SD-Cart
JR: https://www.raphnet-tech.com/products/sdcartJR/). One with the
ability to act as a R/W hard drive would be best, but if not I could
make do with some testing using the non-bootable variant.
