CBM-series had integrated monitors. I've never seen one of the

Me neither. Anyone got one????
If any of you need a drive for one of these CBM
4040's work fine
(8050 is a better but less common drive). I have a number of
4040s and could definitely part with a couple if you want to pay
the shipping costs (heavy, heavy drives).
Where are you located? My PET is lonely and has only a C2N cassette to
play with...
As soon as I clear through the research I have several
items for
this series that will go in the archive - the manual, a word
processor and a spreadsheet, and some technical notes.
Any of you hard core commodore folks know who might have ended up
owning the rights to this stuff?

Last I checked/remembered, ESCOM held the rights to the Commodore name and
to many of their patents/literature/etc. They are at
http://www.commodore.net. Lately, Gateway purchased all the Amiga stuff
and if I remember correctly started licensing clone makers.
Much to the chagrin of commie lovers, the C= logo now only appears on PC
clone boxes... :(
