This is an IBM PCjr. It has three ROM cartridges, one of them being BASIC. It also has the DOS boot disk. Unfortunately, I couldn't find an appropriate power cord to plug it in with, so I was unable to test the unit.
Cant think of a thing for the mobo to do. It's all old tech. But the keyboard is wireless IR and might be put to use if you hack together a receiver. That is, you will need to decode the pcjr keyboard signal to a regular ps2-type keyboard. Better yet, if you go to the trouble, add a blue tooth transmitter and now you have something. Let me know if you do this and I'll copy you should you get there first!

About
It Ain't Dead Yet is a blog for showcasing new and/or unusual pieces of technology, identifying them, and finding their values (historical value/practical use/$ value). It serves the purpose of documenting all the interesting and weird technology that passes through the ACCRC. There will be many pieces of unidentified technology showcased here, so feel free to comment about their values/uses. All of the technology here was donated/recycled to the ACCRC, and once it has been identified and discussed, it will donated to a museum, put to use somehow, or be sold. Anyone with ideas about how to put this stuff to good use please leave a comment.
