Doctor PC Jr from Bung

I've been looking around for a while, and haven't had much luck. I guess most of them have been picked up by collectors.

How rare are these things?
And how much do they usually go for?

Head over to Tototek.com and join the forums there, they know a hell of a lot about those things.

Quite rare, $250-400.

I still have my old page about the Dr.PCJr. here: http://www.chrismcovell.com/drpcjr/

It was cool for its time, but a Powerpak or one of those keyboard Famiclones will bring you more enjoyment these days.

That's the problem right there: the PowerPak doesn't work on clones, or I'd have bought one and started making programs that use the keyboard.

Yes, but I said a Powerpak or one of those clones might reproduce the thrill of the Dr. PC Jr.

If you want a proper FC system with keyboard to dev on, I recommend the Family BASIC keyboard, of course.

Are there any good online sites that sell the keyboard based Famiclones?

I personally had the PowerPak working on a Tristar/Super 8 converter (which is NOAC based) and it worked fine

Well what was the problem?
