Earlier quoted context omitted.

What were the other major flaws?

* No standard ISA slots, instead a bulky and expensive ”sidecar” system * Partially incompatible with regular IBM PC software * Max 128K RAM IBM likely did this stuff on purpose to avoid cannibalizing PC sales, but it ended up killing the Jr. Later on Tandy would borrow the PCjr sound and graphics hardware (superior to a normal CGA PC/XT) for a line of more successful personal computers.

Thanks
