I have several questions regarding the IBM PCjr.

(1) I recently purchased a PCjr and have come quickly to the realization that
    if I want to do any serious software development I will need a couple
    additional peripherals. Namely, a 2nd drive (floppy or hard) and a printer.

    I was wondering if anybody out there in netland could recommend a good price
    for a 2nd drive and a printer, not necessarily  to be purchased together.
    (Note: I have the TECMAR 128K captain board already so additional memory 
     isn't high on my list of addons).

(2) I was wondering what is the best deal for a C-development package that
    will work on the JR; I already know that there are are several C packages
    for the 'regular' PC.

(3) I just read a rumor on the net that Borland (makers of what is considered
    a great PASCAL system; TURBO PASCAL) is about to come out with a TURBO-C.
    Does anybody have any more details about this and will it be available for
    the PCjr?

(4) Finally, I know ROGUE is available for the IBM PC. Will this run on the
    JR and where can I get it?

			Thanks, in advance for all those
			kind enough to reply,
