I just got some surplus PC Jr hardware at a surplus sale,
and wonder if someone can give me some help.

1) I got an IBM 128K memory expansion module. It came with just
   the module and instruction booklet but no diskette. The hardware
   checks out ok, the powerup diagnostics see the memory and
   test it properly. However, I guess I need the installation
   diskette to make DOS know its there. Would some kind soul
   be willing to copy their installation diskette for me? It
   strikes me that there is no real license issue here since
   IBM bundles the diskette with each module sold. 

2) I also got a power expansion module. This came with no documentation
   at all, just the module. The board has a 3 prong connector on 
   one side that looks like it is for a power cord.
      -- What plugs into the 3 prong connector. Is there an external
         power supply I just didn't get?
      -- Under what conditions is the power expansion module needed?
         So far I have 128K, one floppy, and the modem all internal
         with one sidecar 128K expansion module, and one sidecar
         parallel port. It seems to work without the power expansion
         module.
