I have the only operating one that I know of in the area (but then I'm not a
member of the area PC user's groups or anything). As someone else has
mentioned, I have regularly seen small flocks of them in thrift stores and
salvation army places, so I would say there must have been a fairly large
number sold. I was thinking that it is probably best to add a CONFIG_PC_JR
option either to the list of architectures in make config or else as a
second, extended option to the CONFIG_PC_XT choice. I think that
CONFIG_PC_XT is mostly appropriate for the jr, but I just need to #ifdef a
few additional things such as the video buffer relocation into the
bootloader.
