Does anybody know if they're going to be offering a board for the
PC and XT to accept cartridge software?  At first glance this seems
like the way the software companies will want to go - no copying,
no backup needs, no problem with hard disks, no loading delays.
I can imagine future systems with the ability to plug in dozens of
cartridges and search them by name as part of the command search.

Also missing from general press coverage were details of the
display capabilities of the PCjr.  Does it have graphics built in
or is there an add on board for that? Color? Sound?

Is there anything new for the rest of us in DOS 2.1?
