IBM PC JX,

http://www.trademe.co.nz/Browse/Listing ... =486327237

I backed off just after $150.
Other user must want one really badly - its pickup only in Wellington and faulty. Makes sense I guess, extremely rare and almost no documentation on the net (just basic stats and simple history).

It's one I was interested in as well, but you guys seemed pretty keen

Yeah I'd been drooling at the mouth all week :/

There's a PC Direct 386AI on there too, but I have enough clones to not want to part with $50 for another.
I remember reading those PC Direct catalogs when I was still in school.

I'm suprised I don't hear you guys yakking on about the Sega/IBM TeraDrive more often. That'd be a seriously neat machine to have your hands on, far cooler than the PC JX

Because there isn't one on trademe Actually didn't know about them either, had to go do some googling.
What appealed to me about the JX was you get the PCjr/Tandy 1000 graphics and sound, but twin disk drives in 3.5".

What I"m really hunting for is an IBM AT case, delivered (case + PSU) from the US I'm looking at around $300.

I was pretty keen on the JX as well but I feared postage would have been twice the auction price with a monitor probably requiring a second box.

Aside from being a really interesting machine, I thought a black JX would have been nice alongside a black Mac Performa in a display (don't have one of them either though).

Yes, I am mildly interested in the JX model too. Something IBM may have trialled in NZ before deciding it wasn't going to go anywhere in the marketplace.
