There are lots of ways to expand a Jr's memory. New products (within the
last year) even! I'm typing from recollection rather than having a list
in front of me.

For sidecars, there are Microsoft and Impulse (now a new company has taken
over, don't remember name) which come with, or can be jumped to 512K.
There are other brands, I can't remember which ones for sure go to 512K.

Internally, the 'jrHotShot' can be purchased which comes as a little
daughterboard with various configurations, including extra floppy controller.
Cost on the order of $200 plus or minus depending on options. This is
available from Ed Strauss (the designer) or any of many PCjr supporting
companies. These companies tend to advertise and/or get mentioned in
PCJr club/national newsletters.

Etc. Best way to get the exact info you want is to contact a PCjr club
or one of the PCjr national magazines. I have all this info home, so pardon
the sparse details. Support your local PCjr club, and they will support you!
Unfortunately I don't know offhand of one in your neck of the woods. I'm the
newsletter editor of the San Francisco PCjr Club - our BBS, if you want to
spend a few dimes, is 415-997-4874.
