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). Tim Takahashi
