PCjr was 8088, early 80s and was very funky compared to the PS/2
and later PS/1s.

>Did the PS/1 have a 5.25" drive (other than external)?


No external, it was internal.

>Did the PS/1 have a "power cube"?

No, internal PS.

>Did the PS/1 have a chiclets keyboard?


Nope, standard external PS2 (smaller din connector)

>Did the PS/1 have joysticks?


No, it was aimed at business users.
