IBM PC Jr.
Model or Identifier: IBM PC Jr.
Manufacturer: IBM
Date: March 1984
USA
Though highly anticipated as a more affordable (at $670) IBM PC, the PCjr failed to live up to expectations. This was due to poor compatibility with PC software and limited hardware options with a dreadful keyboard. Proprietary ports on the back and a unique ?sidecar? bus on the side, locked users into proprietary solutions only. Two cartridge ports for software were located below the floppy drive. Built with gaming in mind, the PCjr supported CGA graphics with additional color modes and TI sound.
