Pro-tip - if the sanding marks on your chip are this obvious, it has been relabeled.
(This is an NEC V20 chip that I purchased two years ago on eBay. It works, but it's supposed to be a 10Mhz part and given the scratch marks I'm betting it's a 5Mhz part that has been relabeled.)

@ltning I found a fun bug in the web server that can lock it up. I'll ping you with fixed code in a few days. And the stupidity continues. In the last 3.5 hours 11068 unique machines have tried to fetch content from the PCjr, with 11304 requests total. 11160 of those have been invalid URLs. ★ 1 And it ended shortly after posting that. No wait, now it's back! Whee! ★ 1 Want to see the world's dumbest scraping operation? They are using a residential proxy to scrape the PCjr again.
