I sold that 8K PET before you sold me the keyboard. In hindsight, I'm sorry that I sold it, but at the time, it was easy to find a buyer for a flaky unit (it was flaky when I got it). Ow... I have 9" PET shells, but they are of the 2001-32N variety ("dynamic PETs"), not the 4K-8K variety ("static PETs") - i.e. graphic keyboard and external tape, not chicklet keyboard and internal tape. If someone tried to hack DRAMs in place on a static board, I'll bet that's a mess. I have a 2001-16N board with factory perforations on the high 16K RAM pads that I'd like to eventually reburbish to a full 32K. If you really are interested in finding someone who is willing/able to make that one live once again, I am entirely willing to give it a go. I don't have a shell here, but I already have a 3032 board on the way here some kind and an XOR-based composite-out adapter with a closed-circuit TV monitor to get it all working. Doing the same for an old PET wouldn't be that much of a stretch (I was planning on using a C2N232 adapter for mass storage, eliminating the need to send down a real floppy drive). -ethan -- Ethan Dicks, A-333-S Current South Pole Weather at 9-Nov-2007 at 07:10 Z South Pole Station PSC 468 Box 400 Temp -41.6 F (-40.9 C) Windchill -63.3 F (-52.9 C) APO AP 96598 Wind 6.1 kts Grid 88 Barometer 691.5 mb (10197 ft) Ethan.Dicks at usap.gov http://penguincentral.com/penguincentral.html
