Hello!! This is my first post, but I hope I can get some help.
I have most of PC gaming covered except for the early to mid 80s. So I went looking for a Tandy 1000.
I ended up with a PC Jr...
So I need to know what exactly I can do with this thing.
Specs:
Intel 8088 @ 4.77 MHz
640k RAM (128k internal, 512k in sidecar)
Parallel Port (Modified to be bi-directional)
Internal 5.25 DOUBLE-DENSITY 360k floppy drive
IBM PC Jr Video and Sound
What can I do with it and how can I improve it cause I had planned to buy a Tandy 1000 and I would like to play Tandy games on it.
My three computers I already own:
IBM PS/1 model 2133 ($150.00) (486DX @ 33MHz, 4 MB Ram, 170 MB HDD, AdLib, DOS 6.22 & Windows 3.1, 5.25" Floppy Drive & 3.5" Floppy Drive)
Custom built PII computer ($500.00) (Pentium II @ 450 MHz, 128 MB RAM, 10 GB HDD, Roland LAPC-1, 3dfx Voodoo2 connected up to a S3 Trio64V+ 2D card, Windows 98, DVD SuperDrive & 3.5" Floppy Drive)
Custom Built Gaming Rig ($2500.00) (AMD FX-9590 @ 5.0 GHz [Liquid Cooled], 16 GB RAM, 4 TB HDD (2x 2 TB), BD-RE Drive (BD-R/E, DVD-/+R/W, CD-R/W), 2xMSI Radeon HD 7990 GPU in CrossFire [12 GB GDDR5 VRAM in total], Creative Sound Blaster Z Series ZXR, Windows 8.1 Pro Preview.)
