I know C= made static PETs with 2316s and 2114s, but I've never seen one.
All the chiclet-keyboard PETs I've personally laid hands on had 6540s and
6550s. Does anyone have any sort of stats for how many static PETs were
made after the switch? And didn't C= offer 8K dynamic PETs for a short
time? (16 x 4Kbit DRAMs)
In other words, about how many of the later static PETs were made compared
to the earlier ones?

dumpster, just a few years
ago. "Too much stuff, it's just a PET, I can always get another.."
We still seem to get them offered to the museum in healthy numbers - including
the chicklet models (and once in a while one of the blue-fronted ones, which I
believe are the earliest).
