I've set up a group at https://groups.io/g/cptphoenixjr for discussion and 
preservation of the CPT Phoenix JR.

I've just posted a little bit about how I'm going about trying to get the ROM 
booting in emulation as a way to figure out how the hardware is attached. Of 
course, if you or anyone else has knowledge here, that'd make everything a lot 
easier than working backwards from the ROM code and peripheral data sheets. :)

Sorry I missed this, you only sent it to the list and I haven't looked at the 
list for a while. I've actually just acquired a CPT Phoenix Jr. computer to go 
with my display and keyboard, so I now have a full system that I'm planning to 
restore and use.

In what way has your display failed? If it's dim a CRT rejuvenator might do the 
trick. And if it's just stopped working, it may just need a recap. I'd only 
give up on it if the tube is necked or the yoke damaged and a new tube couldn't 
be sourced...

That said, do you have any boot, utility, or other disks archived that the rest 
of us could use with a system?
