How did you guys use it? Do you have *any* docs lying around (not a silly
question - I still have all my notes from several college classes and I
went from 1984 - 1989).
I just had a PET 4016 (9" screen) shipped
from SoCal. It was
$35, but considering it was from the Physics Department at the college in
Santa Barbara,
Hey, I might have used that Pet back in 1985 or so. One of our lab experiments involved that interface,
but I forgot
exactly what the experiment was supposed to be about (It either
had to do with a laser, or an EKG machine...)
Sounds cool.
The physics lab had several PET's, but their
keyboards were kind of
thrashed. They also had an OSI computer in a clear plastic case,
as a demonstration "what's inside the computer".
Neat.
Thanks for speaking up.

There were actually two labs. One was more like a demonstration
room, with various experiments set up (there was the aforementioned
PET and OSI, plus a few programmable calculators, also an oscilloscope
with a microphone attached, and other stuff as well). The other
was a more formal situation, as part of the physics classes we took.

It's been some time, but I do remember the gray box, with one or two
RCA type jacks on it. (I could be wrong on the jacks, they might be
some other type).

For our simple experiments, most likely either as a timer, or we'd
measure certain events (I don't really recall what) and use the
computer to take averages, or other simple data analysis.

We never received docs on the lab interface itself, if that's
what you're looking for.
