	Yes, the PC Jr when equipped with a disk drive, reads and writes
	diskettes in the standard :-) IBM PC 360k MSDOS disk format.    
	(Realize that the Jr. isn't exactly a high priority device for
	hardware developers - so don't hold your breath for much new stuff)
	However, there is a firm that advertises in PC magazine that sells
	a second disk drive, memory exapansion and DMA chip for a Pc Jr.
	
	As far as the CGA is concerned. I have a Tandy 1000SX that comes
	with a PcJr graphics board emulator (standard equipment). Most
	anything will run with the Pc Jr graphics. (You simply have more
	colors to choose from).
