I'm not familiar with the PC Jr, so I can't say what connector was used
on that machine, but the 0.1" header is not normally associated with
Molex.. You are more likely to find them made by AMP, or 3M.

There certainly was an edition of Windows NT for the Itanium... in
fact, I'm pretty sure that Windows Server 2003 still supports that
architecture.

But were my own architecture ever to see the light of implementation,
it would likely have to make do with Linux...
