It should work on any Commodore with a GPIB port. This
was usually traces
brought out to the Circuit card edge for an edge connector to connect
with.
Edge connector on one end and GPIB on the other end.
Not *quite* any PET. It won't work with early PET 2001 series that still
have original ROMs, because there are bugs in the IEEE-488 routines
(printers work, but not much else). That's why I want a two-ROM-set
piggyback board for mine.
