The IBM PcJr was an attempt fo IBM to get into the at the time succesfull homecomputer market. It was basically a ripped down IBM PC with cartrigde ports, a Floppy drive and this horrible chicklet Keyboard like the 116 (they developed a better later) . It had some really cool games (Leisure Suit Larry mostly on Floppy) but i remember seeing a Video on Youtube how horrible it is to get it working. It didnt sell very well, because it was very expensive.
An interesting machine for collectors surely. I have to admit it, i really love this aera.
