My brother recently come upon a PC-jr, which he would like to
put to use.  But the bloody thing has only about 2K of memory,
and a 400byte disk drive.  Is there any way to upgrade this 
computer?  He thinks if he gets some more memory (up to 512K maybe?)
he can run software such as ECM (personal finance program).  Is this true?

Can the IBM PC-jr be upgraded?  How much?  How much does it cost?


Thanks,
