Any CBM II Keyboard should do the trick. I may have one
left from a 8296LP (the computer has been stolen two years ago).
Finally! That kind of housing style that looks just
right at home
with 1990's stuff. I don't get it that C= didn't apply that styling
and "compactness" to their other machines and use color monitor and
more modern guts. C= in late times before got bagged by chapter 11
was building very unstylish blocky machines and large as well, theirs
looked alike to any clones machines at that time.
They did, the 8032 and 8296 LP have been sold well during the
mid 80s, althou it looked like Commo did it only because die
hard CBM users forced them, while the company focused onto
the home/game market - like Apple and the A2s.
Looks like they took a C64 or doubled up C128 version
stuffed
into that thing? When I was in high school, I see plus/4, c64's by
brunch all in all kinds of problems and dud psu bricks in junk piles
in electronics class room. That's years ago.
Nop, the 720 is the All in one brother of the 610, which is
nothing else than the German numbering scheme for the B128.
Good catch on your "rare" find, *honestly* I
haven't seen this kind
ever.
In fact, most 'PET' (read CBM) to be found nowadays are
of this kind (8031, 8296), just the 720 is realy uncomon.
