Here's a question for all you hardware hackers out there.  The PCjr spends
about half of its memory cycles on display-refresh, which is a pretty
useless thing to be doing while nothing is changing on the screen.  During
a long compile, I wouldn't mind if the screen were blank, if that meant
that the job ran faster.  Has anyone put such a switch on their PCjr?
Does anyone actually OWN a PCjr?  I'll summarize any replies received, etc.
