I just bought CMB 8032 complete with a 4040 drive and
CMB (rebadged Diablo
630) printer and a Novation CAT accoustic MODEM.
Modems for the PET are probably the hardest thing to find (I am still
looking) as they had IEEE-488 interfaces.
I got all the original
disks and manuals and everything else with it including the warranty
papers. I got Commodore BASIC, SuperSpell, Word Pro 5 Plus
Wordpro was IT for PET word processors those of you familiar with
Easyscript for the 64 or Plus Script for the Plus/4 would recognize the
simliarity.
something called Jinsam and a bunch of other stuff
that I haven't figured out
yet. Believe it or not, I bought this from a NASA auction last week.

Jinsam is a database management program, and I remember the ads
extolling it's use by NASA, so I don't doubt it. I read about another
NASA application for PETs in an early Micro magazine (sometime in 1980)
something to do with launch countdown of un-manned missiles. As I have
said before, it my not have been a graphics superstar but it had the
interfacing (IEEE-488 and parallel user port) for just about anything
scientific.
