I used to use IBM DOS 2.11 on the PCjr. IIRC it doesn't have hard
drive support. My PCjr had only one floppy drive. And came with only
128 K of RAM. Extra RAM could be purchased as "side cars" that screwed
onto the side of the case. It did have spiffy CGA graphics and a
wireless keyboard. And you could buy programs on cartridges that
fit into a slot next to the floppy drive.

A friend had bought the PCjr brandnew for close to $2000 (yes, two
thousand American dollars) He loaned it to me when he upgraded. Programs
were very expensive then. A simple word processor called "SuperWriter"
retailed for $454!!!!
